| Re: That's not the Internet, that's the InterNOT The article is 404 on Yahoo now, but you can still read it here: »www.telegraph.co.uk/scienceandte···ays.html
And I'll take the liberty of reprinting apt comments from "Robert" who posted in the reader remarks on the article. Do take a look at the page (for the picture) and you'll get a laugh from this.
said by Robert :
More sinister 'we'll protect you' spin from New Labour. As a huge percentage of adults both male and female in this country surf porn sites it will be interesting to see how much demand there is for kiddie-friendly ISPs, as it will mean Disneyfied browsing 24/7 for mum and dad too.
The only way site rating could possibly begin to work is voluntarily. There are already codes that adult websites put into page headers that allow them to be filtered out by the web browser.
But overall this is extremely sinister. As things turn bad for the government it proposes censorship and 'classification' of the web. Well the websites that I run are hosted in the USA and the UK government can go and whistle.
Andy Burnham looks like a complete pillock in that photo too. |
