Just like Saw is simulated torture, 100% of action films have simulated murder, Harry Potter has simulated witchcraft, WWE is simulated bare knuckle/no rules fighting and Chess is simulated regicide. 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? | ||

I think the case was made about scandinavian countries that allready have this blacklisting and most of the sites on those lists were not porn or pedophile sites but other stuff. 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). | ||

And make it a clearly visible opt in policy. Best of all worlds in my opinion because choosing to accept the block get's around all those 'but who decides' problems. If it is such an issue, just don't opt in. | ||

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. | ||

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

I do agree that opt in is always better. | ||

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.

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  | ||

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 | ||

It's just perfectConsidering 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: On July 24 2013 00:28 archonOOid wrote: First they came for the porn, then they'll come for "piracy" and later they'll come for your freedom. | ||
