I want the filter. I want to stop child porn, adult porn, bestiality and extreme violence being freely accessed on the internet. Its effects are insidious and over time will turn the mind. Opponents believe filtering this filth on the internet threatens democracy and will slow the net to a crawl. This is rubbish. Government trials have shown ISP filters can work effectively with negligible slow-down and a low rate of blocking appropriate material. The United Kingdom and Sweden have voluntary ISP filtering which has been adopted by virtually the entire industry in those countries without the loss of freedom of speech or internet speed. The net will not be censored. Illegal material Refused Classification (child porn, bestiality, extreme violence) will be blocked, throwing a spanner in the works of the purveyors of this rubbish. I think the issue is all about money ... Fiona Patten (porn lobby) says: “If they go ahead with what they propose, we’ll wipe out the adult industry in the next five years.” Happy with that! Like clean reticulated water, I expect the Government to help provide a clean internet feed so my children cannot access this filth. Bring it on.
