"Ministers are suggesting that people should automatically be barred from accessing unsuitable adult material unless they actually choose to view it.” And "Conservative MP Claire Perry has pushed for restrictions to go further, so that each internet service provider automatically blocks "harmful content" and users have to contact the company to reverse this."

Talk about being in between a rock and a hard place! I suppose that soon after, they will announce a ‘potential sex offenders’ listing having been compiled as well? What exactly is 'unsuitable adult material'. In my book, Margaret Thatcher, David Cameron and Eric Pickles are all terribly unsuitable adult material. And I don’t think I would have liked them as children either.

FFS this is getting monotonous. It’s always that hollow gesture claiming it to be about 'the children' whenever someone wants to be assured of support. Try being a better parent and you won’t need the government to play nanny for your fecking children.

I remember reading somewhere about the two kinds of freedom: Freedom From and Freedom To.

More and more, most governments and do-gooders are trying to implement "Freedom From". The want to free us from having to make decisions and judgments. I am only 56! How will I ever grow up unless I am free to make my own, however misguided, decisions? :wink:

Besides, just what is unacceptable adult material anyway?
