Online pornography to be blocked automatically, PM announces

I'm wondering when a government is going to decide that clearly it knows best and take over parenting entirely.

can't believe that people still fall for this shtick

Not sure we need two stories on the front page, discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6081724

It happens when an event of a certain size occurs. Heck, the whole of HN was filled with Aaron Swartz stories not too long ago. It'll pass.

I expect a large uptick in VPN users from the UK...

Very soon there will be internet plans w/porn (with fair usage limit) and without (unlimited)

seriously. DC is such a moralist. I hope everyone just start's using TOR and this whole thing backfires.

Surely its a first step to banning TOR without explicitly saying so?

I second this decision. Porn should not be enabled by default from ISP. I have families ruined because of porn watching children/dads! They know how to bypass URL filtering etc.,
