Oh my, that's fucked up. It will make people mad. It surely sounds like some insane censorship shit. Did they even ask people if they want it? Where is the referendum? I'm sure most society would be against, only some religious freaks would be pro this bullshit. So soon GFY.com will get unaccessible from the United Kingdom unless a one opted out bullshit filter.
Who will decide which sites are ok and which are not? Any site that has user created content had, have or will have explicit adult content, that's how the web function.
I already posted this in the other thread:

It is a parents role to take care of their kids. I think any of such default on filter is the rape of freedom. They will start with porn and end on political stuff censoring what's inconvenient for them. This is not right. Besides it's impossible to block all adult content and this will do more harm than good. Parents will think that all the job is done for them... which will be far from truth. While fully legit stable adult websites that care about minors will get their traffic hurt while some bullshit scam sites that just popped yesterday with nasty stuff and illegal content and malware on will find it as a great opportunity.

And I still think this would end like this.
