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.

You’re right - bad journalism.  It isn’t about the Nanny Filter.

Except - it is.  O2 are just getting ready for compliance with their overlords!
