Online pornography to be blocked by default, PM announces

Most households in the UK will have pornography blocked by their internet provider unless they choose to receive it, David Cameron has announced.
He said: "I want to talk about the internet, the impact it is having on the innocence of our children, how online pornography is corroding childhood.
Ms Perry argued filters would make a difference, saying that the killers of schoolgirls April Jones and Tia Sharp had accessed legal pornography before moving on to images of child abuse.
This is not about protecting children; it never has been. It's the first step to set up a filtering system to weed out everything the government does not like, and with the "think of the children" argument they try to force it through. Besides, it's the duty of the parents to raise their children, not the duty of everybody else. Just look at those arguments: after looking at (legal) porn some girls were killed? I'm sure if you go through other cases it will turn out that other killers ate a medium steak before they killed their victim. Using the same argumentation steaks should be made illegal too. At first it's to block porn. Then to stop different opinions and thought crimes will become a reality.
