Politics: I really feel sorry for you Brits..

[Andrew Robinson]

Note: this is a bad journalism post not a p*l*t*cs post!

This story is incredibly misleading. The proposed government mandated porn
filters are not yet active, the filter that is being written about here is
actually O2's parental access filter, which is a whitelist designed for
parents who want to let kids use a computer unsupervised without any danger
of them seeing anything even remotely objectionable. It locks down pretty
much everything except a few educational sites specifically aimed at under
12s.
