In some european countries sex without a condom is rape, so we better get ready for a prison isle à la johnny english.

None of those things are illegal because they're not real, they're fake and it's fucking retarded beyond all fucking measures to censor something which is fake.




you know if lolicon shit is outlawed in UK?

We have a pedophile-site filter but as far as I know it's working as it should. Motherless was blocked for a good year or two but it's been off it for a long time now (probably after Motherless themselves cleaned up their act as it's very hard finding any child pornography there anymore as far as I know). Whenever you go to a site that's been blocked you're greeted with a page that explains that the site is blocked by request from the Swedish police due to being a disseminator of child pornography and that if you feel this block is in error you can contact the police at whatever number or e-mail or whatever it was. It's all very up front. I'm not sure if there's a public list of all the sites the police request to be blocked or not though. Furthermore only ISPs that accept this filtering themselves are included (and there are some that don't, although I think all of the very biggest do).

There is literally no point to this law existing. It solves no problems, introduces a myriad of them, and is unenforceable. Why is it such a horrible occurrence if a minor accidentally stumbles upon porn? It's just people having sex. Most minors are just curious/oblivious/embarrassed when they see such things; they're not scarred for life just because they saw a penis enter a vagina by complete accident.

Even if that was to really protect kids... we all know that kids that really want to see boobs will find a way. I did that without internet in the 90s and probably our parents too.

And yeah don't give government censorship powers.

To be fair, it's the ISP opting in and not the end user. But since you (generally) have the option to choose your ISP regardless of where you live you can just go for one of the freedom-humping ones. They're usually just as good but without the bullshit other ISPs impose on you.

By law, all UK ISPs are already required to block sites known to contain child porn. It has been that way for as long as I can remember (pre-google!).

Edit to make myself look like less of a pedophile: ISPs are also required to block other illegal things (snuff movies, drug sales, etc).

ISP's could just make it a check box when you sign up "Do you want the family filter on?" and that solves the problem. I do agree that opt in is always better.

It won't. It a nice thing for UK. But we all have been teenagers and we all find a way to watch some.

Borrowing from friends, asking the big brother, or outright downloading it. So it's just nothing. A political fuss that won't change the majority of things. Maybe you will get less spyware :p

Anyway i think this has nice intentions, but it's just useless.

I love those statements... so completly theoritical. For me i think that's a paranoid statement. Also piracy is not something that can be put into quotes. It is what it is

Restricting a few porn websites to me is like "I'm going to try to restrict a small part to see if we can restrict the Internet even more in the future". They're just trying to see how people would react now.

Why oh why would you think that ? Governments are not out trying to get you. If they wanted to restricts some things you would never know and they would have done it WAYYYY sooner.

Also for the lulz Check out OP's name. It's just perfect

Considering how PRISM, Tempora (UK), SOPA, ACTA, etc were so recent, anything can be possible from retarded governments.

Also Turkish PM wants Twitter blocked. Governments have realised that the Internet is/will be the main force in the future to stop them from doing things we don't want them to do. It may sound as a conspiracy, but this sums it up:
