Wrong part of the forum to post, but you've already been flagged, they know what you've been watching!VPN service providers delighted, I imagine.
Ah, when people who have no idea about the internet try to control the internet there's never going to be a problem is there 
"I know, we'll make it difficult for people to visit the well known porn sites who might actually agree to this regulation, and in doing so we'll be forcing people to use far dodgier ones instead......yeap, that'll definitely make everyone safer won't it now kids!"
The utter stupidity of thinking that the genie can simply be put back into the bottle with a little regulation is just mind-blowing to me.

It's not just the MP's, it's everyone else involved too, TBH I just see it as certain people making the correct noises to keep other's happy, it will be impossible to police and aren't most of these well known porn sites based out of the UK, if so how will be policed anyway? Biker 1 said:

Doubtful.I can't really understand why parents would want to let the state control what their kids watch.
Surely the parents would be better off being the filter, rather than the state ?
I can imagine some families, for example from strict religious backgrounds, wanting
a lot of control and other families not all that bothered.

No obvious sign of this yet.The aspirations to protect children from watching donkey porn or to be able to get companies to hand over communications between criminals are both fine, but believing either can be achieved in practice let alone in theory is as rational as believing in fairies. It is divorced from objective reality. It might not be immediately obvious that this is the case, but it doesn't take much explanation either, and you'd hope that our legislators and regulators would both grasp the point and be honest enough not to pretend otherwise in public.
A lot of sites just won't respond or will flip the bird to the UK government, then the idiots will be on at the ISPs to block access to them, which will drag on through the courts for years, while anyone with any sense get a decent VPN subscription just in case. It's tedious how often they misunderstand this stuff.
