Reminder: You can argue about the pros and cons but no one is blocking anyone. It's merely a default device (which many parents have requested) which you can choose to have lifted.

Also a reminder: Families with these porn filters deployed will also not have access to LGBT advice websites, sexual health websites (other than probably the NHS's), and porn addiction websites.

If I were a 13/14 year old now, and had these filters, I'd see it as a challenge to find a way to overcome.

Until it's opt-in, it is a blocking device. It is censorship. Even then, the whole thing is fucking stupid. Our species is dangerously idiotic.
I find that way of thinking about it terribly close minded, and ignores anything that doesn't fit the standard "nuclear family" situation.
