Sky broadband will automatically block porn by default as of next year

[NickFitz]

Won't it just be an online thing you can turn off, rather than having to phone up?

They might lose some customers but they might also gain a lot of new ones if they're seen as "anti-porn" from the conservative/religious/parent demographics.

There's no evidence that I'm aware of showing that to have happened with the existing process, and they're not offering any service that isn't available from every ISP in the UK.

Yeah, because those demographics really hate porn. Too much sex, probably.

Porn is for losers.

People who live in reality deal with hookers

Amature. I film my encounters with hookers. In the US this keeps me out of the hands of vice police as my activities become legal. Well, apart from the ones with beagles.

Virgin broadband also blocks by default to make the connection family friendly.

But you can login to your account and remove that setting quite easily.

In Dubai at the moment and all p0rn is blocked.

They compensate. Have you not noticed that nearly every J class seat on Emirates flights to Dubai is occupied by an extremley pretty woman?

Nope. They are all covered in black!

You're confusing it with F!

Plusnet have a simple online system with a big On-Off switch and different categories to block with a timer so you can still watch porn whilst the kids are at school. Quite good really.

I wonder which category CUK comes under: Hate & Intolerance, or Offensive & Tasteless?
