Well I'm almost certain I've made this thread before but well here it is again.
Turns out our one and only saviour David Cameron really is determined to block access to pornographic material in the UK by default. In the news recently we've seen all sorts of chitter chatter from him to the ISP's and vice-versa but really nobody thought this would actually go through.
For one reason him and the ISP's were pretty much at war over the issues and the ISP's explaining that they already offer filters for this kind of block and perhaps people should be further encouraged to use them rather than inconveniencing the whole of the nation to "protect" the children. But no, Mr Cameron won't stop there he is intent on misleading people as shown in a letter to the ISP's leaked last week (viewable here:

My main reason for opposing this is that it's just a form of censorship where the government decides what I can and can't view which I find despicable and a complete violation of my freedom of choice. But What pisses me off more is that Mr Cameron expects people to take an active roll in voicing that they want porn. Now I'm 21 and look at porn as much as the next guy but my old man is the one that pays the internet bill etc. and deals with the ISP. I have to somehow approach him and tell him don't let Sky push these filters on you without explicitly stating that it's to do with porn. Now how many self respecting people ever what to discussing anything to do with porn with their parents. Fucking none, I don't want to phone up the ISP and be like "Um yeah hi I'd like some porn please could you sort that out..."
Though what in fact concerns me more is that sites I visit on a daily basis that contain SFW and NSFW sections will simply be banned altogether instead of only parts being banned. I imagine the situation for many British members on this site will be similar to mine or perhaps worse if you are under the age of 18.
So lets get the hate train started, also the most recent article and the one with the most overwhelmingly negative response is (

Also to get around this I just bought a VPN, It really fucks me off though that David Cameron thinks this is acceptable I mean it really really really fucks me off.
