Good Luck With That of the Day: UK Prime Minister Cracks Down on Internet Pr0n

By the end of this year, sexually explicit material on the web will be blocked from every home across the United Kingdom, according to the latest measures that have been enacted by British Prime Minister David Cameron. This means family-friendly filters will come standard on all broadband connections and will only be bypassed if an adult account holder chooses to opt-in for unrestricted access. Cameron asserted that the new rules are meant to address how the Internet impacts “the innocence of our children,“ adding that adult material on the web is “corroding childhood.” The move has been met with harsh criticism, with civil liberties campaigners warning that the new measures could set a dangerous precedent for online censorship around the world.
