These god damn government is getting bloody worse with there ideas

Should it not be up to the individual wether or not they want to view porn on there machine? Why should ISP have to block Adult content in the first place.

Thr worst part is that having to phone the ISP and telling them could you please enable Adult content

Dammit thats even more Embarassing!!!

What is going to be next?? I guess soon it will be like all TV streams should be blocked by default and ones that want to view should call there network provider.

All in all this all boils down to them keeping an eye on people on what they do.

Would you be happy with hardcore* gay porn being broadcast on a FTA channel at 4 in the afternoon? Or Readers Wives being next to The Beano in your local newsagents etc.? Genuine question.

*I mean real filth, you know, like fisting, felching, kissing the badger cleveland steamer kind of stuff. Stuff that makes you want to tear your eyes out/get your lad out. Stuff you didn't think possible, but now you've seen it you're curious to see more. That kind of stuff. PM me for links.
