Great Firewall of Cameron goes mandatory, ISPs required to buy magic no-false-positive beans, as well

Has anyone tried a flashmob reenacting Avenue Q’s famous song in front of Number 10 yet?

The Internet is really really great…
FOR PORN!
I’ve got a fast connection so I don’t have to wait
FOR PORN!

Etc.

“Welcome to Fnord Internet. As per government mandate, we are required to have parental filters activated by default. If you want to view this page, you may turn off filtering here.”

This block message would appear to every customer when hooking up the new DSL router, no matter what page the user tried to call up. The only way to actually view the internet would be to turn off the “filter”. And who is to say that it wasn’t a false positive that flagged that page as unsuitable?

If you have children, and dare ask to have the porn-filters turned off, you will be committing a thoughtcrime or sexcrime that means you ought to get your kids taken away from you.
All hail INGSOC, and the wisdom of Big Brother!

You didn’t just make that up now, did you?
