Relax, you can still watch porn in the United Kingdom, but it?s about to become a bit harder. As reported in Wired, Internet service providers (ISPs) in the country will ?make filtering a standard option across industry.? If you don?t act, parental filters will come ?pre-ticked.?

Therefore, if you don?t want your Internet connection to be quite so vanilla, you?ll need to opt-out. ISPs are implementing the filtering system without a legal requirement, so we will not see a law enforcing the new policy.

The kicker to this is that the system will not only be put in place for new accounts, but for existing accounts as well. This is pervasive. Claire Perry, a Member of Parliament, described how one might opt-out of the system: ?We will have automatic put on, so if you turn the filter off at 9pm, it turns on again at 7am.?

Thus, even if you turn the damn thing off, it will come back on before your first cuppa.

If this ever happened in America the scumbag ISPs would be charging a $30-$50 a month "adult content fee" in order to opt out.

It's total bullshit of course. It should be OPT IN.
