As for Cameron's plans it will be the usual UK legal screw up. As a Brit (unlike some complaining here lol) we have seen it all before. Definitions of what constitutes "pornography" are so variable. Some books/movies have been banned whilst others have gone free. There have been many court cases involving "obscene" publications and what "obscene" constitutes and normally it turns into a farce. Bit like cable/satellite channels. They can show a penis, that's fine, but it can't be erect. Haha they can't even determine what they mean by erect!
I can guarantee it will be a farce but such a mess that the fallout will effect all of us! |
Well, I can say from experience, having been born in the UK, resided in London, am a property owner, and worked on the launch of the first UK Satellite TV Network, that I agree. What bothers me, really, is how easy the Brits give up privacy and freedoms in order to "maintain law and order". Its a philosophical difference and I suppose we are all going down that slippery slope to some extent. It will be interesting to see if this finally crosses the line.
It prolly won't fly, but it does effect the rest of the world as well.
It was a huge topic of discussion here on open mouth radio. He has opened a Pandora's box and has no, zero idea how to implement it.
On the other hand, if he can pull something off, it will hurt tubes and graphic free sites, and cam girls much harder than most of us here.
It will kinda be a step back to where you actually had to pay to rip open the plastic bag to see the girls inside.
Not a bad thing at all. You go David.
