UK "default on" ISP censoring will include "web forums" by default

Sadly WriteToThem doesn't seem to have done a responsiveness survey since 2008, so I can't find out how well Chukka Umunna responds, which is a shame really. Maybe it's something we should be asking to be published generally.

Done. Most of the stuff I found on the internet seems to suggest that Umunna is a serial non-responder, which is definitely my experience of him.

Nothing from Chukka Umunna neither.

He's too busy finessing his principles.

And none of you would have to read & reread the word, "Betwixt".

Peanut Butter Betwixt Chunky......mmmmm

^^very good, I'm suprised to say I managed the distinctions, although the browser/search engine seemed too obvious

I'm sure most of you have seen this... British Library banned viewing Hamlet @ MIT for being "too violent"

Filtering works flawlessly, nothing to worry about.

That's not quite the same thing as widespread Internet censorship - that's more to do with fake Louie Vitton handbags.

It's about ISPs blocking websites. That is internet censorship.
No, it's not the same crap that Camerson is spouting about but I would say it's still quite relevant to the discussion.

I guess it's similar in that both things prevent Internet users from finding something, but one is done by (for example) this forums very own Photoben to stop websites from nicking his work, the other is done by the gub'mint as a hysteria induced blanket ban on anything other than Cbeebies.

They are both government policies that are or will be enforced by ISPs.

Rosindell sent me a paper response!

That's pretty much the response I got from my MP.

Except she finished with "I do support these proposals, because I think it is right that we do what we can to make sure children are protected from extreme content.".

another useless response.

they honestly have no clue

Rosindell says

While this is good progress the Government has been clear that the industry should go much further

What does that ominous statement refer to?
They can already see what we look at
They'll soon be telling us what we can't look at
How much further is there?

Watching us touch ourselves.

In.

Come at me, government.

The arguments about 'extreme content' and paedophiles are valid, but they're arguments that support additional measures for parents, not nationwide censorship of the internet.

Every concern raised by MPs could be put to rest by making free filtering software readily available, or developing a specialised browser for children (for instance). And yet, the government continues to push for increased control over the information we consume. Almost like they had a different agenda...

^This.

Still no response from Chuka Umunna, surprise! Even my little tweet was ignored. That principle-finessing must be tiring work for him.

. Almost like they had a different agenda...

Different to these agenda?
'And we're all in this together'
'If you've nothing to hide...'
'Protect the children'
'be afraid of strangers + terrorists'

What else?
