Would be nice to have this implemented also in the Philippines -- if only for the kids.

UK Plans to Block All Internet Porn

After accusing online pornography of "corroding childhood," British Prime Minister David Cameron has announced that, by default, Internet service providers will soon block porn from reaching consumers, and make possession of certain types of extreme material a criminal offense.

"Many children are watching online pornography — and finding other damaging material online — at an increasingly young age," according to the written transcript of a speech that Cameron delivered this morning (July 22). "Our children are growing up too fast. They are getting distorted ideas about *** and being pressured in a way we have never seen before."

Cameron has adopted a multipronged approach to dealing with online pornography, which leverages the abilities of the British government, major search engines and Internet service providers.

The U.K. will soon require its six biggest public Wi-Fi companies (O2, Virgin Media, Sky, Nomad, BT and Arqiva) to apply family-friendly filters on public Wi-Fi networks, to prevent adults from accessing pornographic content. This change will occur by the end of the summer.

The real kicker comes at home. Four British communications companies — TalkTalk, Virgin, Sky and BT — supply 9 out of 10 British broadband customers with Internet, and by default, they will soon block adult content.

"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," said Cameron. "Once your filters are installed, they will cover any device connected to your home Internet account." This policy will only affect new broadband customers.

The broadband companies will contact every existing customer between now and the end of 2014 to offer them a choice between filtered or unfiltered Internet access. After that, if a customer wishes to change his or her preferences, the account holder will have to get in touch with a company representative.
