British Prime Minister Promises Default On Porn Blocking

judgecorp writes: David Cameron, the British Prime Minister has promised that the UK's ISPs will be required to provide connections with "porn blocking " filters switched on by default.. The public promise comes despite opposition from ISPs, and the near-universal acknowledgement that the system wouldn't work. Last week also saw the leak of a letter from the Department for Education which effectively told ISPs to lie — to implement their preferred "active choice" system, and simply CALL it "default-on".
