Conservatives plan to block online porn


"You would not censor me, but Conservatives want to."


Conservatives Act to Censor the Internet

  • Thought Crime  -  Using a "Think of the Children" campaign the British Conservative Party tries to sink their claws deeper into controlling Internet content.


(RT News)  -  Prime Minister David Cameron’s plans to automatically block online pornography may soon be made illegal under EU law, a leaked memo has revealed.

Cameron proposes to introduce legislation forcing internet service providers (ISPs) to enact filters which block adult material by default unless customers “opt-out” – a scheme critics have described as censorship.


Major ISP Sky broadband and public Wi-Fi provider Friendly WiFi already have automatic blocks in place on their service.

A leaked policy document from Brussels, dated May 17, suggests the EU will put an end to both existing and proposed parental controls in a move guaranteed to rile growing anti-EU sentiment in the Conservative Party.

The memo, which was seen by the Sunday Times, proposes that content filters should only be allowed when the “end-user” has agreed to them and if they have the “possibility to withdraw consent at any time.”

Cameron’s proposed measures have strong support within the Conservative Party.

The Conservative’s 2015 manifesto pledged to “stop children's exposure to harmful sexualized content online, by requiring age verification for access to all sites containing pornographic material and age-rating for all music videos.” 

Critics describe the proposed legislation as censorship and an attack on freedom of speech.

Jerry Barnett, CEO of protest group Sex & Censorship, told Wired magazine this month that politicians could use the cover of “protecting children from porn” in order to introduce internet censorship.

This should worry anyone who cares about online free expression,” he added.

I Know Porn When I See It
And this ain't porn  But the liar political hacks claim they know better than you what porn is.
.
The hacks say that "porn" and so-called "
sexualized content" on the Internet is evil and must be controlled by the all-powerful Big Brother State.  Naturally the politicians will be the ones who decide what is considered sexual and will be censored by their Internet filters.

Porn is one of our best weapons against Islam. The other is cannabis.

I say instead of bombing ISIS we should drop those small airline bottles of booze and copies of Playboy.
