Government Wants to Regulate Internet Porn

It's actually about 10%

But it should be the parents responsibility, not the governments. And if parents can't control what their children look at on the internet (which is very easy, a simple filter would do, though there is a problem if their child goes round other peoples houses ect) then there may be bigger problems than just porn.

It's actually 12.23091145%.

Back to the matter at hand though, I say we get 4chan on the case!

TLDR: The government has plans to make it so that you have to ring up your ISP to opt into internet porn sites, in a bid to stop children accessing pornography.

IMO, a terrible idea, not only is it not going to work, the government shouldn't be interfering with the internet. It also a huge double-standard - the music industry have been crying out for them to do something about illegal downloads for YEARS and they've done sod all!

They've actually recently shut down Limewire, which is where most people download music illegaly.

what's the problem with "children" seeing porn online? they will find out about sexual endeavours eventually, a few porn videos are hardly going to cause them any problems.
this is just government failure, they are trying to intervene to solve a problem of bad parenting, and education by regulating a completely unrelated system.
if they must attempt to enforce something so ridiculous, then it should be a case of you phone the isp to initiate the block, not to remove it. opt in, not opt out.
i personally think that the web should remain unregulated, monitored perhaps, but there shouldn't be restrictions

Like the theory, cannot see how it could work in practice and not stop innocent sites (holiday photos, some dating sites for example). Probably an ISP could succeed in a challenge under the Human Rights Act.
