how the hell did we get from porn filters to destroying the internet?

[Drogoth]

put it like this, I fully agree with the minimum age limit on printed pornography and I see no distinction between that and internet filters for porn

So it's now everyone elses job to opt out to prevent lazy parents from just calling the ISP for the filter?

Look, I started looking at hentai when I was twelve and I'm perfectly normal.

Teenagers are going to be teenagers and they should look at pornographic material at their discretion, not someone else's. They're gonna find out about it sooner or later and I'd rather it be sooner than later. Besides, the only thing out there that could really be considered traumatizing is goatse. And boy do I regret wanting to find out what that is. :shivers:

I wouldn't want to let children see sex in public. Not my job to stop people shagging on the checkout in tescos.

I knew one day Britain would suffer its richly deserved punishment for coining the term "fap"

Stiff upper lip time.

You know, I don't really see the point of making (non-****ed up) porn illegal for people under eighteen. It would seem impossible to enforce in any sort of reasonable manner, because the child is not doing anything harmful to anybody else and the parents may be almost entirely free of responsibility.

I always love that sort of ~women's group~ that cheers on right-wing moral hysteria whenever it turns its eye toward porn.

[Torchwood]

Their euphoria will last until some cock sure conservative says something inescapably misogynistic. Again.

Truth to tell, I don't think watching porn is a proper substitute for actual sex ed, but I'm opposed to a ban without any evidence that abuse or coercion were used during the creation of a pornographic film.

[Flak]

Like I said before, right here it is already destroying things. Even some otherwise 'innocent' sites gets blocked because of some troll posting some random pornographic stuff and causing an outrage from the religious groups. Don't they even have the idea how many porn sites out there exists with new ones popping up here and there every day and it will be nigh unpossible to block all of them. I don't think you can block torrents either.

This could easily get HLP blacklisted.

Woah, here I was getting worried! You post that and then the site goes down...

[JCDNWarrior]

This discussion really reminds me of the book Brave New World by Aldous Huxley in terms of how sexuality was described in that book as well as it's effect on people.

Secondarily it's a rather silly topic that the UK would want to ban porn - Surely if they were serious they'd call the GCHQ to prosecute/arrest/force shutdown all of these providers in the UK or even internationally as they don't appear to show much respect for international law or rights anyway..

From a more serious perspective, I see it more as a smokescreen as part of the entire surveillance-police state system of trying to normalize the idea of further policing the internet or to give some seemingly acceptable reason to incrementally go after any website that posts unsanctioned or unapproved information, in the future.
As such I don't see porn websites of any kind, perhaps except those that perhaps would compete with 'chosen' or 'preferred' suppliers, being censored or forced to shut down. It is very likely that planted/mild porn content on said unapproved information outlets would be used to shut them down.
