Why is an Australian site the only place talking about a supposed UK plan?

Not gonna happen.

Sky News have been reporting it too

ironic how people will have confidence in the story only after it being confirmed by sky news.

:/

That's not my point - he asked why an Australian website is the only place reporting it

Internet porn block 'not possible' say ISPs

Government plans to block pornography "at source" are unlikely to prove effective, say ISPs.

The proposal to cut off access to pornographic material was floated by Culture Minister Ed Vaizey in an interview with the Sunday Times.

The government is talking to ISPs to set up a meeting at which the proposal will be discussed.

But, say experts, technical challenges mean any large scale filtering system is doomed to failure.

Legal issues

A spokesman for the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills, confirmed Mr Vaizey's plan to talk to ISPs about setting up an age verification scheme to govern access to pornographic sites.

"This is a very serious matter," said Mr Vaizey. "I think it's very important that it's the ISPs that come up with solutions to protect children."

"I'm hoping they will get their acts together so we don't have to legislate, but we are keeping an eye on the situation and we will have a new communications bill in the next couple of years."

The Wikileaks situation is only moving us closer to having a controlled internet.

This freedom won't last forever. We're so lucky to live in the age of uncensored internet.

This is true, however given the current status of freedom so many people have discovered ways of bypassing security systems. If everyone downloads a .pdf of basic code or whatever, then who KNOWS

Online pornography to be blocked automatically, PM announces

 

Every household in the UK is to have pornography blocked by their internet provider unless they choose to receive it, David Cameron is to announce.

 

In addition, the prime minister will say possessing online pornography depicting rape will be illegal.

 

In a speech, Mr Cameron will warn that access to online pornography is "corroding childhood".

 

Search engines will be given until October to introduce further measures to block illegal content.
