TalkTalk is the latest ISP to comply with the call by Prime British Prime Minister David Cameron to block adult content in British homes. Sky Broadband was the first ISP to block adult content, leaving BT and Virgin still to make a decision.
David Cameron has been on a mission since 2013 to protect young users from inappropriate content, and required mandatory filtering online implemented, but raised concern of a number of defenders of privacy and also a number of companies that have found their legitimate online activities caught in filters.
according to the Open Rights Group (ORG) about 11% of the first 100,000 sites (owned by Amazon analytics company Alexa) are currently blocked by the default filters .
TalkTalk plans to block adult content to all accounts default next month, with Sky saying that customers who have not made their minds have the decision for them. Charm!
The Executive Director of Index on Censorship Jodie Ginsberg said "Default filtering is a tool blunt to address the problem of children and young people access inappropriate content online. If customers want to filter, they should have the ability to make that choice, rather than a TV company to make decisions on behalf of everyone. "absolutely!
And a number of activists of privacy believe that censorship should never be turned automatically. Jim Killock executive director of the Open Rights Group told the BBC "Filters block all types of websites, including some that provide useful guidance to children and youth. Customers need to understand the implications of the filters before to decide whether they want them. "
Do you feel comfortable with Big Brother, aka the British government about your listening habits? Ahh, Mr. Lannister Suffolk, I see that you are interested in beating. Interesting, very interesting ... .. * makes notes for later reference *.
Education begins at home
Of course, one of the best ways to protect children online is to educate them from an early age about the dangers of certain websites, and teach them responsible online behavior.
David Cameron believes that this compulsory measure is the best way to protect children online, but last year the experts of the Child exploitation and online protection center said that restrict the results of the search engines would be "ri "by pedophiles who use the peer-to sites and not Google peer.
In December last year, the British government banned a number of sexual acts, including caning and spanking porn being manufactured or sold online in Britain. This does not mean that you could not access pornography online abroad, but with these mandatory blocks set up by Sky and TalkTalk, you now need to withdraw from the default.
Is this really the protection of children (the British government classically highlighting this problem from the perspective of the general election) or do you think it leans towards the increased confidence in the UK?
