Internet porn to be blocked in public as David Cameron promotes 'good clean Wi-fi'

[QUOTE=xianlee;40400741]
I'm wondering as well, if you access a public wifi , do you leave evidence that you have used it?[/QUOTE]

At the very least your MAC address will be in any router status/log files.

[QUOTE=spinpoint F3;40400107]They're banning it in PUBLIC wifi hotspots, not your home wifi.

Calm your tits[/QUOTE]

But what if I get bored in McDonalds and I just want to sit there jerking off????

[Desuh]

The McDonalds here have hotspots that ban certain sites. Including 4chan. Facepunch however is not blacklisted.

[Sundowner]

goddamn I did not lose a leg in Vietnam to have some upstart freedom hating chickenhawk tell me I can't yank it in a starbucks goddamn

[QUOTE=Noss;40400144]You do know it's illegal to jack off in public already right?[/QUOTE]

So then why the fuck would people be watching porn in public to begin with? The story?

[JustExtreme]

Political timewasting

[FunnyStarRunner]

Whelp, time to go back to magazines.

Am I the only one who sometimes watches porn without touching my penis?

[UntouchedShadow]

[QUOTE=IrishGamer;40400114]Who the fuck watches porn in public, anyway?[/QUOTE]

You'd be surprised.

I recall my teacher telling us a story a few weeks ago about the student he had to send to the office because he was watching porn on his laptop in the back of the class.

[Foda]

what counts as porn? does Michelangelo's David count as porn? What about movies with sex scenes? Is that porn?

[ironman17]

Eh, who needs to watch porn on public wi-fi anyway? So long as "public wi-fi" doesn't include hotel internet, meaning you can still watch porn in your hotel room, I have nothing against this.

Nothing, that is, except for the fact it's being promoted by the fuckin' Tories.

[QUOTE=Foda;40402964]what counts as porn? does Michelangelo's David count as porn? What about movies with sex scenes? Is that porn?[/QUOTE]

I think the only movies that qualify as porn are porn movies.

[Mellowbloom]

I'm sorry, but what children are finding porn on wifi without purposefully looking for it?
And if they're already actively searching for it, I don't think seeing any is going to 'damage' them.
Next thing you know, he'll want to ban violent content or something.

[Spazi]

Filtering the internet based on what they don't want the people to access?

I don't like the sound of that at all.

[mechanicalocean]

[QUOTE=Amez;40400115]And then Cameron realized his mistake when trying to download "Oil Overload 2" in the local coffee shop.[/QUOTE]

Wait, Amazing Atheist made a sequel?

[Coffee]

I like how he bases policies off of common sense.

Who actually looks at porn in public?

Also what public wifi lets you access these things already?

[Ybbats]

I do believe this is what the term 'nanny state' exists solely for.

[n0cturni]

I will laugh at the dedicated individual that just brings a laptop with porn stored locally and starts going through it in public instead.

Usually hotel wifi is only accessible because you're renting a room, so it's technically paid for.

[DEANO90]

I don't watch porn in public, but I'm just generally fucking sick of this cunt now

[theobod]

What about people getting their limbs chainswaed off but the Mexican cartel? Is that more ok for children to see then a vagina, tits or a penis who are more natural and they will see that sooner or later while they wont see a guy getting chainsawed to death. Well, here in Sweden so do the owners of the Internet Cafes kick you out if you watch porn or extrem violent thing's.

[Simplemac3]

Pornography actually pretty drastically harmed my psyche when I was a kid, but I'm sure I'm a pretty rare case.

...Yeah, it's complicated. I do not wish to talk about it.

EDIT: Wait, only in public? Hell, I see no problem with this.

[DainBramageStud]

so it's legal to buy porn mags but illegal to browse porn from the shop wifi

makes total sense

[matt.ant]

Porn mags are hidden in grey bags with just the name visible, this isn't France

I do guess that happens, sorry.

i have never seen that in any shop ive been in

[QUOTE=squids_eye;40400105]People who watch porn in public are a bit weird anyway.[/QUOTE]

this is why you download it

[Nikita]

The idea that children should have no idea what sex is is counterproductive.

[iTrolol]

This is just the start, though. They'll use this to block porn now, and then once that's blocked, they'll use it to block whatever they don't like. Whatever news they don't want people to know.

This is how Deus Ex will happen people

Get your trenchcoats and sunglasses ready, people.

[QUOTE=Nikita;40409102]The idea that children should have no idea what sex is is counterproductive.[/QUOTE]

Children get taught about sex in school, they don't need to see some guy spunking on a girl's tits. Your grandparents didn't watch porn and they figured out how to reproduce ok. The idea that porn is educational is just dumb.

And since most people haven't read the source (or even the title) this is for public wifi, wifi in parks, in the street, on the bus, why would anyone be against this?
