After a series of high-profile child-sex murders in the UK, in which the perpetrators admitted to being porn-addicts, the UK, under Prime Minister David Cameron, announced that all new internet connections in the country will block porn unless specified by the subscriber. By the end of next year, all 19 million UK homes currently connected to the net will be contacted by service providers and told they must say whether family-friendly filters that block all porn sites should be switched on or off. In addition: Pornography involving simulated rape will be banned both online and offline, and online videos will be subject to the same rules as those sold in sex shops. I am assuming this will include all BDSM films, most of those with anal sex, and many “gonzo” style movies. The Prime Minister added: “I’m not making this speech because I want to moralize or scaremonger, but because I feel profoundly as a politician, and as a father, that the time for action has come. This is, quite simply, about how we protect our children and their innocence.”
