Rest easy, guys — the UK rejected a law to block Internet porn

12/16/2012

British guys, you can breathe a sigh of relief. Your porn is safe, at least for now. A plan to automatically block internet pornography on all computers in the UK has been rejected. The move would have required Internet Service Providers to block hardcore adult sites by default, forcing users to "opt in" if they wanted to see a little Girls Gone Wild. However, UK ministers say the measure wasn't widely supported and concerns were raised about "over-blocking," where websites with information, for example, for teens on sexual health or sexual identity, might be blocked. Translation: you can stop stockpiling your XXX downloads now in fear of the Pornopocalypse. [Source]
