And then there's the classic Weston photograph: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepper_No._30

(Edit, IOW, not a new problem, photographers have been pushing at this sort of issue for a long time)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I believe they are referring to the opt-out default filter isp's have been enabling. Not sure on the laws surrounding it.

No laws requiring ISPs to apply filters. It's just a voluntary agreement between ISPs and the Government. The Digital Economy Act 2017 has provisions in it to allow ISPs to apply default filters if subscribers agree to them in terms of service. There are requirements in the DEA 2017 for 'adult' websites to verify the age of people who visit the site with the threat of their website being blocked if they don't comply.…

I think they just want to introduce a generation of teenages to VPN's because any sane person can see how this is going to go, that's assuming any site outside the UK even bothers to comply.

> to verify the age of people which is just silly. because they only need to ask for your age.

You're missing one important detail: the reason the agreement is 'voluntary' is that the Government threatened to force ISPs to do it through law if they didn't volunteer.

I do wonder how that's going to pan out. Are they going to block reddit, imgur, 4chan, and tumblr?

A bigger question is why does the police spend time looking for pornography? What type of society is the UK developing into?

> The police force already leans on AI to help flag incriminating content on seized electronic devices,

This is people who're being investigated for possessing images of child sexual abuse. This might be because they've accessed a website known to distribute such images; or they've created imags of a child which were found.

Police need to search all the devices that person owns in order to find all the images. They need to do this to protect children who are still being abused; to detect unknown abusers; to add images to the various IWF etc lists; and to ensure the correct prosecution and sentencing approach is taken.

Not unexpected. It's surprisingly difficult to tell your arse from your elbow: http://stupidstuff.org/ass_elbow/

But... I... I just want to know the answers. That reset quiz button... It’s... Why?

Its a ruse, they just want you to look at random people's backside and think that it's a elbow. The modern day version of scanning your ass and printing it lol
