>The UK ISP Sky Broadband has announced that all new internet customers will automatically be enrolled in a adult filtering system that blocks all adult content.
>Sky says the filter will also be automatically turned on for existing customers soon.

Virgin Media already has something like this, although iirc it was just for new accounts. You have the choice, its just on by default.
Is Sup Forums adult content? Will we finally be saved from British shitposting?
As opposed to all of the American shit posting?
>Virgin Media
>blocks adult content
>virgin
>implying I'm American
Sky blocks any kind of torrenting site too. Including websites for Torrenting clients such as Deluge or qbittorrent are straight out blocked. Also, any mention of anonyimising software whether it be on forums etc results in the webpage being blocked.
They're an Orwellian ISP
>Scotland leaves
>Britain can officially change its name to Toryland
You lads haven't been browsing any un-christian materials have you? Don't want to have to send Officer Plod around for a visit.
>in the meantime no kid has ever gotten their porn from subscription porn sites but rather shit like Sup Forums, reddit, and torrents that have no obligation to comply with the UK's laws
It's like they're 20 years behind the rest of the world. I still remember when I was a kid using credit card generators to create bullshit porn site accounts.
Now that you mention it... Didn't porn sites have this shitty "age verification" in the beginning?
I mean it was just the bullshit that said click yes if you're over 18, but still. Haven't seen that shit in ages
>not from the UK btw
If it's not Christians, it's socialists. Cant have you browse material that objectifies women.
Fat porn is OK tho.
Germany had a bit fancier age verification where you put your id code in.
There used by quite a lot of generators around that would calculate a valid code though.
They haven't blocked Deluge you fucking retard. I just went on to there site right now, can download it fine.
What is it with cuckistanis and pulling shit like this?
Yes, Sup Forums is blocked by the filter.
Really? I'm German and can't remember that.
I can remember the "click yes if you're over 18" though, but that was before geo location was a thing and all porn sites were just English, so I think it wasn't really aimed at Germans
I meant on German porn sites, it wasn't some filter thing that applied to every site.
But it's been over a decade since I was on shitty German porn and skiddie sites so I don't know if they are still doing that.
T-there are German porn sites? As in, hosted in Germany etc.?
Shit I never knew. I thought that was an all American business
Germans have some nasty shit, you've been living a sheltered existence my friend.
Was blocked for me in London, as were any sites mentioning torrents
The broadband contract with sky started only 2 years ago there so might have something to do with it
yeah and it's all piss porn or german goo girls
couldn't you just use a different dns or a vpn?
proxybunker.co.uk
Their block is pitiful.
Why do you ever need access to anything else then your trusty vpn server?
lol
>pornographic magazines will be a thing again
Kek, only VHS and static images for the wankers. Good job electing Muslims
>I only stream porn
one more reason to store a tera of porn
Where's the crying Statue of Liberty? Or, I don't know, Margaret Thatcher?
Seriously, this is old news from 2013, we called it the Great Firewall of Cameron: I talked to Theresa May about this, personally, and RevK submitted evidence about it (and his ISP, Andrews & Arnold, just flat out doesn't do it - if you want filtering, he says, fuck off and choose a different ISP).
She's a real bitch, and now she's probably going to be Prime Minister. We are so fucked.
However, everyone's supposed to be asked if they want blocking or not when they sign up. You opt out, it's gone... except they do have the equipment still, so some torrent sites like The Pirate Bay (a good canary for this shit) are still blocked - those mandated by the High Court because they do have the equipment, so the Court figured it could make them use it. Oh, and those on the Internet Watch Foundation's block-list: those are URLs flagged as containing child porn, although honestly the vast majority of the domains uncovered by my research (which, by the way, does not visit any websites, I don't want that shit) are expired, invalid, or just plain look spammy, they seem to have a very short half-life. I haven't seen any obvious mis-listing on the IWF list, except notably that one time they blocked Wikipedia because of the Scorpions' album cover, which was arguably technically correct, but obviously bollocks and swiftly withdrawn before they ruffled too many feathers.
Sky's blocking is broadly speaking based on BT's "Cleanfeed" - an IP-block-level transparent proxy that uses ARP poisoning. Affected IP blocks have port 80 forwarded via Squid for URLs that don't match the filter; it returns either blocked pages or 404s for others (instead of the correct 451 or 403 status code). It can be circumvented by numerous techniques, including most VPNs, Tor, and a few others I won't talk about here. It can be mass-exploited to redirect or inject … actually no, not gonna disclose that either.
BSkyB customer here.
There will be an opt-out. And if there isn't, I will change ISP, or just use the VPN I pay for.
if it isn't australia then why bother?
>no one's made a skynet joke yet
what are you doing
They actually sued Microsoft over the name SkyDrive, and that's why they changed it.
They also tried to get then to change Skype, but failed.
They really are a scummy company
Were you a sensible man, and hence a member of the conservative party, you would be eligible to vote for Andrea to lead the party. Not only will she end the ridiculous ban on fox hunting, she won't be Theresa May!
>torrent porn
>totally unsuspicious to unlock torrenting as everyone does it
wew so hard
Sky customer here. The adult filter can be turned off again. Also, Sky, like all ISPs, didn't give a shit about torrent sites until they started getting court orders to block them.
Remember when the onion was funny and not being a hillary plant?
Reminder that the next prime minister will probably be Theresa "Snoopers Charter" May
And they delayed No Man's Sky with legal bullshit.
any ban that upsets arsehole toffs is fine by me.
The Left is the new evangelical Right
What went wrong Sup Forums?
>not gonna disclose that either.
Why not? Share
They seem to think they own the word Sky
I hope Rupert Murdoch can sleep well at night
Remember, it's only through robbing the toffs that the socialists keep their bureaucracy running.
The left has always been totalitarian, apart from the small division of anarchic libertarians. Nothing has changed.
The evangelical right is still retarded, but you're right, the left is what should be worried about right now.
>robbing
lol. They're only toffs in the first place because they let the riff-raffs pick up their tax bill.
>Also, any mention of anonyimising software whether it be on forums etc results in the webpage being blocked.
Honestly? What's their reasoning behind that?
