Cameron issues Porn Ultimatum

A government move to block pornography at internet service provider (ISP) level has been met with mixed reactions. Prime Minister David Cameron announced plans in late July to require internet users to ‘opt-in’ to explicit sexual content, by requiring ISP’s to block it by default.
In addition, the coalition government will make the possession of pornography depicting rape illegal in England and Wales, bringing the countries in line with existing Scottish law. However, while many lobbyists and campaigners welcomed the announcements as a breakthrough in the fight against the ‘corrosion of childhood’, others expressed concerns that the proposals were badly thought-out or unworkable.
