From what I've been reading, a few other countries within Europe have this system implemented. There was a great post on Reddit which I can't seem to find to suggest that this is a growing (and failing) trend.
I find it hilariously ironic that some friends who used to begrudge the concept of privacy with their eternal slogan of "I ain't go nothing to hide" suddenly feel so uncomfortable with this level of censorship since your name could end up on a virtual list (which let's be honest, WILL get hacked and leaked) and are not in its favour.
This is one of many steps down the Censorship rabbit hole. Anyone seen how Talk Talk got complimented by Cameron as a leader in implementing filters? Have you seen their list? Porn leads to extreme political thought/opinion which leads to extreme opinion, which finally could lead to simple opinion censorship.
Oh wait....Forums...the nesting grounds for opinions!!
I'm just unhappy that these filters might hinder the buffering speed of my porn!
