Britain: Proposed Law Would Require ISPs and Device Makers to Filter Internet by Default

April 6th, 2012

Will VPNs be outlawed? *chortle*

Via: PC Pro:

A new bill presented to the House of Lords demands both ISPs and device makers filter adult content.

The Online Safety Bill, raised in the Lords by Baroness Howe of Ildicote, asks for ISPs and mobile operators to “provide a service that excludes pornographic images” and for device makers to include ways to filter content at the point of purchase.

The proposal is a Private Members Bill, which rarely make it into law without Government support, and has yet to be subject to any debate.

    Is DaVinci’s “Vitruvian Man” also pornography, since the fellow in his sketch is in possession of exactly what gave all us males at the moment of conception?

    What about the paintings of Ruebens and Caravaggio and the classic European painters of yore, which bare more than the occasional breast — including the one at which Baby J himself suckles?

    Shall I go on?

    theres more to alot of art than pornography; and more to pornography than sex. and as some faiths believe, sex aint simple. dualism hardly ever is.
