Do you have kids?
[0]: Or the government censors whatever they like with their filtering infrastructure.
TL;DR - "Yea I guess, but..." Personally I don't have huge a problem with the default filtering; most households (with or without kids) don't have the knowledge to effectively enable filtering for all their devices - giving them 'protection' by default, and allowing the option to have full access is currently what most - maybe all - mobile phone operators do in the UK anyway in 3G/GSM connections. However, its import…

Meh. I doubt the Tories have a clean house in this regard. Every time some politician or other 'moral leader' starts pontificating about moral panic, I get suspicious that they're just trying to ban their vice. Clearly if they're so vocally opposed to it, they mustn't be partaking, right? Glenn Loury and cocaine. Mark Foley and the exploitation of children. Eliot Spitzer and prostitution. John Ensign and 'family valu…

In one way we got what we asked for. Whenever the argument was made that Google, British Telecom, et al, had a "moral duty" to censor pornography, we were able to simply say that this was an empty argument and that the only duty the companies had was to follow the law of the land. Now, by changing the law, the companies have a legal duty. That is what I and others have wanted, censorship is something we are able to a…
Now it's the duty of the people to pressure their government from making these absurd tools for Fascism.
You know, when 20% of the population of Canada elects a Majority government that can do whatever it wants for 4 years because of voter apathy, I'm wary of the trust that should be placed in the people. But where the hell is it supposed to go?!

And on top of this, they want to create a database of all of child porn. ( What could possibly go wrong?)

It's not widely advertised because they'd like to claim such a thing is impossible, to avoid the music industry.
