The sane solution to web porn fears

10:05 AM | Posted by ProJ | | Edit Post

Again, people are pushing for ISPs to apply filters. Solutions "This technical approach to the problem in terms bad

The sight of David Cameron, a weight on the "Internet pornography filters" debate, in a very timely move to divert attention from the new conservative press uncomfortable Conservative councilors lose seats punctuation is not exactly a chip to bridge the Web with confidence. Note first that we have been here before, in October, when Cameron suggested the same idea: that people who take on new contracts with service providers (ISPs) should have the opportunity to be able "access pornography. "The idea then was that the" big four "ISPs - BT, TalkTalk, Virgin and Sky, covering 17.6 million over 19 million broadband users in the UK - would let people check (or uncheck) a box when you have a new contract.

that time, the proposal arose from a meeting between Cameron and the Mothers' Union. This time there was a conference breakfast. This time, there is also the ambient background music of a turbulent law within the Tory party unhappy with reversals and the commitment and support of Claire Perry boombox, a Conservative MP, who chaired an independent inquiry into the protection children online. Perry was calling loudly for the filtering of some sort, saying: "We know that the current model is failing [and] we need [PSI] to recognize that there is a problem, and we must do it quickly. "

Not bad

least one thing: there is a problem with Internet pornography. The problem, however, it is easily accessible. The idea of ??the Internet is making things easily accessible. Just in case you forget Perry, the Internet was originally designed as a network to be robust to a nuclear attack, I do not think even anger is in good agreement with that. So while there is no pornography on the net (and it will be forever), people can access it. More: porn merchants are what they are, they will try to get their products to as many people as possible. At the other extreme, you have lots of young people who may be minors, but he managed to get your teenager starts even in the days of printing. Put the two opposite ends of the Internet, and nothing short of a direct blow meteorite that will connect them.

  • The Daily Mail, which was striking the drum whenever Perry aloud, may or may not know this truth. Paul Dacre, the editor has not shown much inclination to engage with the Internet, beyond the firing of "Twitters". However, although the role of Cameron on Friday hailed movement, they felt that in a pair of tweezers, carefully put quotes in a headline that read: "Internet pornography: access by the afternoon that" Protect the Children ".
  • So what's the problem with Internet pornography? Do many parents (and by proxy MPs) that the solution is to regulate the Internet, where the answer is to regulate children - or even better parents. I write this as a parent with children of both sexes. Frankly I am surprised by the stories of parents who let their children have a television or a computer in their room. First, it's like telling them not to socialize with you, and socialization of the work we do and do not accept so sensual and sexual and pornographic (and where the line is). Watching TV together, it can discuss what you watch. Have computers in common areas (in fact, the prohibition of the use of isolation) using filtering systems have been built in - these are the solutions that work. They did not need a law, which does not require complex filters are routed around a flash (do a search on "bypass filter VPN"), but only has to be part of the family. Can not turn off the Internet, or that its inhabitants respectable (ask Louise Mensch). You can, however, turn off the computer, or to explain to your child respectability.
This, of course, is probably asking too much. There will be stronger filters calls, even if the application only to contracts that change will take decades to penetrate (only 5% of the swap of persons per room, and 5 million people who have never changed) .

Yet, once the filters are in place, there is a site that offers endless images of women in bikinis, or see through dresses or high heels "Hooker" for fun Children and mouth-watering offer a message humiliating for girls. No, the site of the Daily Mail does not come without such filters. Note that, Claire Perry.
