Cameron’s version of the Iranian “Halal Internet” can’t possibly filter out all the bad stuff, nor can it avoid falsely catching good stuff we want our kids to see (already the filters are blocking websites about sexual health and dealing with “porn addiction”).
This is a problem libraries have been dealing with for, as far as I know, there’s been an internet. Libraries, for the most part, want to block the “bad stuff” but not the “good stuff”. And as far as I know no one’s come up with a real solution, short of putting computers in very public spaces where everybody keeps an eye on everybody else.
I’m surprised Cameron hasn’t proposed that as a solution.
