The government wants internet service providers (ISPs) to filter legal pornography and other adult subjects "by default".

The government said by the end of next year, 20 million homes - 95% of all homes in Britain with an existing internet connection - will be required to choose whether to switch on a whole home family friendly internet filter.

Prime Minister David Cameron said: "As a dad, it is very simple: I want to know my children are protected when they go onto the internet.

Well David, maybe you should just act like a parent. Take a look at what your kids do instead of forcing everybody else to have a censored Internet just because some parents aren't doing their job.
