While I'm not a big porno fan - this is what happens when you let governments control the internet.

What will they be asking people to "opt-in" for next?

If it goes in that direction then I'm guessing pretty much everything except a select few websites owned by major corporations. And you'll have to pay extra money to the govt. to access anything outside of that.

The group has also petitioned Cameron to force content providers to put age restrictions on music videos and require retailers to sell clothes for children that are considered "age-appropriate," the Guardian said.

Wow, they really want the government to do everything on the internet.

While I personally find how some people dress their young children to be disgusting ... I cannot fathom surrendering decisions on clothing my child to somebody other than my wife.
