british Prime Minister David Cameron announced this week that he is going to
be taking aggressive steps to stamp out
online pornography and the way they're intending to do is actually pretty
interesting this
two different things first the ball they're gonna be making it a crime to
possess
extreme pornography ass such as images or videos have simulated rape
I'm so if you have any that might work with the delete key and hope that nobody
can check
your I guess the league history but more importantly what they gonna be doing is
they're going to be having the different ISP's that distribute the Internet to
the UK
to have these family filter is on that are gonna be automatically
set up to block up or we have a call from camera action is a speech he gave
to child protection group
he said by the end of this year when someone sets up a new broadband account
the settings to install family-friendly filters will be automatically selected
if you just click Next or answer than the filters are automatically
on and and so that's kind of the interesting and perhaps controversial
part of this it's not like
you have the option up getting rid of the porn unless you're proactive in
contact the ISP's
you will be automatically getting rid of your porn when you get to some of the
other details later on but what's your initial reaction okay well
I was most amazed by the way that he made the announcement
Co
theme
them
for oh yeah oh yeah
I got a grab a book as they've already fell out back to broadening their
I okay yeah so
I my initial reaction I is what you doing
and how is it every time the excuses 2008 should
right so now they do the extreme sex thing here and how corny through that in
his wealth
now should you be concerned about child support of course you should right
the shoe sex thing like the they're talking about sees a rapist up
so of course we understand the concern about that yet now there's gonna be a
lot a gray lines and there's my guess have you seen porn lately
I guess they're gonna ban all german porn period I i don't know okay
so so there's there's a big lines there but to me the go over
the line when they say we're going to block everybody sport unless
you specifically request like you email they know however you do it ego
Mimi right here yes it borrowed are looking for please
yeah puts the onus i guess im people
to say okay like I would like porn it said were basically all being presumed
guilty
yeah before we even watch any porn so like if you want to go out the child
pornographers
all a million per cent with you but don't assume we're all guilty
yep against this may be a little bit less then you guys and it's not because
I'm a girl and I don't watch porn because that's not true
but make it yeah yeah
you'll appreciate the idea of getting rid of all this
this rape porn in this child porn I really think that that's a good
aggressive move because it's out there
I think it's a real problem I but I do think that opting out I love these
filters
isn't that hard to do i mean it's a hoop to jump through
and the fact that they aren't giving you the option it's not porn is not on
it's still there it's just certain point that goes yes so but I see where it
still a gray area I totally hear you and so I would argue that we should do is
often right so up to the filters
yeah opt into the filter so that's a very important distinction right so the
sale
you know like and I have a family rate and so I might opt in for filter cuz I
don't want my three-year-old
going on line accidentally I mean you had a couple wrong strokes your arm haha
you're gonna give some things you should get some structural
ATL okay but so not like if you wanna you know it is a lot of people with very
legitimate we want to protect your family from seeing that kinda stuff
and then there's the issue of the a involuntary stuff that gets put up
but on that to me if you got an online come on do some police work
I mean indices listening I everything we do and they've got every male you can
trackback to the original source
where they put up illegal child for the rape porn yeah come on
don't tell me you got a band for the whole country because you can't do the
most simple to take to work in the world yet so that's where it gets kinda
complicated for me and I don't have
I don't I'm not as in favor like if you wanna draw the line at extreme
pornography the simulated rape scenes
and stuff like that I totally think that you should have the the discretion to do
that I think that's perfectly fine again you get into
potential arguments over where you draw the line because as Jake alluded to
with modern porn sometimes it's hard to tell what exactly they're trying to
portray
because it tends to be so extreme anyway but what I don't like is
it's one thing maybe to set up a system for new customers or something but they
updated after the speech in Cameron came out and said
well we're actually gonna do now is when this goes into effect everybody
already has internet will have to proactively go and say I want porn
and that I think is a poop as Mickey alluded to but it's also potentially
dangerous politically because now you're on record
in the documentation of some ISP which as we know as Jake again alluded to
there freely sharing with the US government the UK government things like
that
they're going to say we'll look at joe shmoe he ask I've really what point you
gotta gimme porn
you don't think that at some point that information is going to be leaked
accidentally
that that happens all the time yeah in fact I i'm
I'm so annoyed by their spy a.m. so concerned about it
that it almost made it has made me a little conspiratorial
that as I was reading the piece I was thinking they just want to do this to
collect
although if the information on everyone who opted in on porn
yeah right because like this cake is I said earlier this gotta be a better way
to go after the guys who are doing this
illegally without banning point for everybody and it made me think either
wanna bang porn for everybody
or they want to list the guys who actively 14 yet
and I and finally like when they do you actually put this into effect on you
have to do your
clicking if you want it or not whatever read the fine print very closely because
I wouldn't be surprised to find out like your information might be shared up what
kinda porn viewing habits you have
yes something like that could be going on to read that carefully oh you're
right although I will
that's the way too long you you know when you go to opt in for porn
you they're not gonna put in the small fine fine print or by the way this is
public information and yeah
we allowed to give it to the NSA in case you ever pose the British or the US
government we will eliminate you with all the info we go from report
