Nope.

Anyone motivated enough to actually BUY porn will make sure they can get it on their computers.

Surely if thats the approach it would mean that the work of atvod in regulating access to porn sites with british editorial control is no longer required? I know it probably would still carry on though

While I agree that parents should be aware and responsible for their children's activities as someone who didn't grow up with computers it is my experience that if I need to get something sorted on my PC I consult a 12 year old. The youngsters I know have no difficulty accessing movies and TV shows unavailable here legitamately I suspect porn filters will present no challenge and that this move will have zero effect on the surfing habits of school kids. So this is merely a cosmetic attempt at portraying this government as being in control of something.

typical on two counts

Daily Mail ?

And the biggest one avoiding the issues - use porn and what the government is doing about it to try and cover up the things that they are not doing properly......

I dont see any diifference in porn from 10 yearsa ago - its out there and easy to find - adding in an opt out function ? most will opt out and make up thier own minds and not let a government censor them. Anyways my 2 cents worth....

Sounds like you believe in joined up government. Whatever you're on, can I have some? :-)
