UK Govt to restrict online porn access

[Fidel_Castronaut]

I'll just opt-in. It's a bit of a shitty thing, but not the end of the world.

No, but it is a violation of privacy. ISPs will have a nice big list of everyone who watches porn, which they will have to keep indefinitely.

That's what pisses me off.

I don't give a shit that people know I watch porn, but I certainly don't want my ISP knowing what I watch, and I damn well dont want the government knowing I watch it and what I watch.

It's the presumption of wrong doing from DC and co that really grinds my gears. DC clearly dislikes porn and subscribes to the whole 'porn kills childhood' bollocks. So now I and every other British Internet subscriber is held hostage simply because of a personal bias held by a politician less than a 5th of the voting population voted for.

I'm not sure of the implications but there is the possibility that by opting in it could be held against me in the future. Slippery slope. What will be censored next?
