Earlier this week, leading UK internet service provider (ISP), BT Broadband, announced that it will beginblocking access to adult content by default for new customers, with existing customers being affected by the new policy next year. The move is not one of BT’s choosing; it is the result of years of campaigning by special interest groups in the UK.
With the support of Prime Minister David Cameron, ISPs have been told to implement network-level filters to block adult content by default, or face legislation forcing them to do so. Account holders have the option to disable these filters if they wish to view some of the more spicy and stimulating content that the web has to offer, but teenagers, spouses and partners who don’t have access to the account holder’s login details are, theoretically at least, out of luck.
