Pron. Banned.

Well, blocked. And you have to opt in. Or out. Or something.

This made me laugh, another example of how clueless the Daily Mail is;

DM said:

Mr Cameron’s intervention follows a concerted campaign for an automatic block by this newspaper and will be welcomed by campaigners on child internet safety, although concerns remain about how the Government plans to address children accessing porn via their own smartphones, and phones and tablets such as iPads using public wi-fi.

Do they think smartphones, tablets and public wifi all use a different internet?

To be honest I stopped reading at the quoted part. but having gone back I see this is actually some sort of filters you're forced to apply when you buy a new computer. Not quite the victory the DM were making it out to be.

This was predicted though, wasn't it? Once you start censoring pron under the guise of 'protecting the children' it's not a leap to believe other things will also be censored via mission creep.
