back to article UK Parliament waves through 'porn-blocking' Digital Economy Bill

MPs have passed the UK government's controversial Digital Economy Bill, which will force internet service providers to impose blocks on porn sites that do not include mandatory age checks or feature kinky sex acts. The proposed law has also been heavily criticised for enabling government departments greater access to citizens …

      Unfortunately Big Sister Theresa May and her MP colleagues seem to be clueless regarding the internet. How long will it take for one of the kids to figure out you can bypass most of these filters using Google DNS or a VPN server. If all else fails, you could also of course use your dad's computer to watch that stuff.

      One partial explanation is that extreme right and extreme left ideological views are currently leaving a vacuum in the sensible centre ground. Both extremes have an inherent desire for total control that does not involve any compromises.

        Not quite. The "sensible middle ground" stopped being "sensible" and became utterly corrupt in both the moral and the literal sense of this word. Clinton, Blair, Schroeder, Barrosso and Co have tainted the middle ground so badly in the eyes of Joe Averag voter that he is happy to give his vote to a Nut( with or without al).

        Yes, we definitely have a vacuum in terms of middle ground, but not vacuum of morally corrupt Fast Tonies (of the Ice age and British politics fame), but people who have a middle ground policy (not middle ground market stall in the temple).

        Until we have any people will vote for the Witch of the West or various Nut(al)s.

So they spy on us, lie to us, try and sway us by painting the Others black, control what we watch, what we smoke, what we drink and when we drink, who we should be mixing with, exchanging views with and even f&cking.

            So how did she get to be an MP then? Like most PMs, she was elected as an MP and like most PMs, she was chosen by her party as the leader. (there have been a few instances where the Monarch didn't like the option and chose someone else)

            Both John Major and Gordon Brown became PM mid-term just like May, so it's not as if there's no precedent. (although I'm not sure I could think of a worse choice than May).

          Neither Clinton or Blair were or are reasonably describable as "sensible middle ground" figures by anybody other than their own supporters and people doggedly and frantically trying to apply the terms "left" and "right" to people when the label doesn't readily fit.

          To become reasonably accurate you have to add the dimension of "authoritarian" verus "libertarian" as the "top" and "bottom" of the "left" and "right" political map. Hence why when the difference between "left" and "right" is generally differentiated by how to acheive a task, rather than if they should be doing it at all the differentiation is increasingly irrelevant. Looking at this also explains why you have groupings on issues that cross simplistic left/right boundaries.

          People are turning away from "left" leaders because they are increasingly authortarian tossers who increasingly dictate what you should say and think. Supressing any dissenting opinion has pretty much reached the point where even mildly questioning any part of an agenda is "throught crime" and unacceptable and results in temper tantrums.

          People aren't moving towards the left or right, they are pretty much staying still. It's the politicans moving away from the public towards being more authoritarian that's the problem.

            A young friend did a summer school at the Mises Institute and imbibed the ideology of their Libertarianism. When he came home he wanted to prove something by having us both do their online test - to establish our philosophical position in those four quadrants.

            He was rather put out to find himself labelled as "Authoritarian/Right" and myself as "Libertarian/Left".

            No doubt in my final school years I would have been "Authoritarian/Left" - which was commonplace in the 1960/70s. The School of Life has taught me that black & white is actually lots of shades of grey.

            It would be interesting to know exactly what is going to be stored for a web access. The GET request URL will potentially contain a lot more than the host & domain hierarchy.

            Some big web services differentiate their users in the host string - but others include it after the domain as a filestore hierarchy. For the latter the host & domain provide no discrimination about what site is being accessed. Somehow they have to work out at what point the filestore hierarchy is pointing at a page rather than a user - that could be tricky.

            If the Get request is stored with everything up to the start of any parameter "?" - then they will be able to collate distinct page accesses - should they ever want to.

      The Stazi is exactly the issue. If you get the chance, I strongly recommend visiting a Stazi museum. I went to the one in Liepzig, which played a pivotal role in the fall of communism. It is so scary to see how close the Stazi came to preventing the popular, peaceful protests which led to the fall of the Berlin Wall. And that was with 1980's surveillance techniques.

      If the Stazi had had modern internet surveillance tools, they would have had no problem at all in keeping full control and Europe would look very different today.

                You already can if you want premium speeds etc. Opera bought SurfEasy VPN - the free service will remain indefinitely but they already have a large paying user base and a robust platform. In any case it's not like choosing a VPN provider locks you in - there's a reasonable argument for mixing it up across several providers.

      Both Labour and Tories have tried to push similar stuff through multiple times over the last couple decades. They've failed in some cases (not all) for three reasons.

      1. The opposition want the credit to oppose the incumbents plan as being unworkable despite being almost identical the own plan because they oppose as a matter of policy and they assume they'll be in next and can claim the glory for themselves.

      2. The EU rules the Act as being incompatible with the RIghts of the People.

      3. The Govt. doesn't have a majority and combined with 1 above means it fails again.

      It seems that Labour have given up trying to grab the glory and have accepted that they will eventually get back into power and be able to play with the new toys anyway.

    will force internet service providers to impose blocks on porn sites that do not include mandatory age checks.

    I haven't read the bill itself but that suggests if the porn provider doesn't do age checks they will be blocked by ISPs.

      I'd read (but now can't find the reference) that the site is expected to do age checks (only on UK browsers) via either a credit card transaction, or by checking details against (government provided?) records (passports or something?). I'm sorry, I really wouldn't trust those who run porn sites to behave responsibly with personal data on the UK's population, or with credit cards.

      But apparently the punishment on non-British porn sites that don't cooperate? They lose the ability to charge UK credit cards. But as any that *do* charge credit cards are clearly providing an age verification service, the only ones left will be the ones that make their money from affiliate links and hosting dodgy malware-laden adverts and so won't care about the punishment.

      I would like to know though whose job it is to constantly patrol the world's porn sites looking for which sites do or don't do age verification.

    I speak as an Irish person, be very wary of this kind of level of conservatism and censorship wrapped in nationalism and protectionism.

    We had a dose of it here in the mid 20th century and it did horrific damage that has only really been undone in the last 20 years and hopefully will never be repeated again.

    Hmmm... Opera VPN (similar to almost every other service Opera has integrated) is actually a really data-leaky proxy service rather than an actual VPN. It may be fine for spoofing your endpoint IP address but does nothing for protecting the rest of your privacy. It's also owned by the Chinese, does full proxy request logging and several of the endpoints resolve directly to "Five eyes" countries. Not good at all as far as I can see.

    But "what about encryption" I hear you say you say???? Well, I'm sure Opera have heard of the concept.

    As for Protonmail - well... all well and good I guess... except if none of your other email contacts also use Protonmail, or if you want to use a 3rd party email client such as Thunderbird. In those cases it's pretty much fucking useless.

    The Goverment Reply

    You’re receiving this email because you signed this petition: “Repeal the new Surveillance laws (Investigatory Powers Act)”.

    Dear Idiot who votes,

    The Government has responded to the petition you signed – “Repeal the new Surveillance laws (Investigatory Powers Act)”.

    Government responded:

    The Investigatory Powers Act dramatically increases transparency around the use of investigatory powers. It protects both privacy and security and underwent unprecedented scrutiny before becoming law.

    The Government is clear that, at a time of heightened security threat, it is essential our law enforcement, security and intelligence services have the powers they need to keep people safe.

    The Investigatory Powers Act transforms the law relating to the use and oversight of Investigatory powers. It strengthens safeguards and introduces world-leading oversight arrangements.

    The Act does three key things. First, it brings together powers already available to law enforcement and the security and intelligence agencies to obtain communications and data about communications. It makes these powers – and the safeguards that apply to them – clear and understandable.

    Second, it radically overhauls the way these powers are authorised and overseen. It introduces a ‘double-lock’ for the most intrusive powers, including interception and all of the bulk capabilities, so warrants require the approval of a Judicial Commissioner. And it creates a powerful new Investigatory Powers Commissioner to oversee how these powers are used.

    Third, it ensures powers are fit for the digital age. The Act makes a single new provision for the retention of internet connection records in order for law enforcement to identify the communications service to which a device has connected.

    Public scrutiny

    The Bill was subject to unprecedented scrutiny prior to and during its passage.

    The Bill responded to three independent reports: by David Anderson QC, the Independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation; by the Royal United Services Institute’s Independent Surveillance Review Panel; and by the Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament. All three of those authoritative independent reports agreed a new law was needed.

    The Government responded to the recommendations of those reports in the form of a draft Bill, published in November 2015. That draft Bill was submitted for pre-legislative scrutiny by a Joint Committee of both Houses of Parliament. The Intelligence and Security Committee and the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee conducted parallel scrutiny. Between them, those Committees received over 1,500 pages of written submissions and heard oral evidence from the Government, industry, civil liberties groups and many others. The recommendations made by those Committees informed changes to the Bill and the publication of further supporting material.

    A revised Bill was introduced in the House of Commons on 1 March, and completed its passage on 16 November, meeting the timetable for legislation set by Parliament during the passage of the Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Act 2014. Over 1,700 amendments to the Bill were tabled and debated during this time.

    The Government has adopted an open and consultative approach throughout the passage of this legislation, tabling or accepting a significant number of amendments in both Houses of Parliament in order to improve transparency and strengthen privacy protections. These included enhanced protections for trade unions and journalistic and legally privileged material, and the introduction of a threshold to ensure internet connection records cannot be used to investigate minor crimes.

    Privacy and Oversight

    The Government has placed privacy at the heart of the Investigatory Powers Act. The Act makes clear the extent to which investigatory powers may be used and the strict safeguards that apply in order to maintain privacy.

    A new overarching ‘privacy clause’ was added to make absolutely clear that the protection of privacy is at the heart of this legislation. This privacy clause ensures that in each and every case a public authority must consider whether less intrusive means could be used, and must have regard to human rights and the particular sensitivity of certain information. The powers can only be exercised when it is necessary and proportionate to do so, and the Act includes tough sanctions – including the creation of new criminal offences – for those misusing the powers.

    The safeguards in this Act reflect the UK’s international reputation for protecting human rights. The unprecedented transparency and the new safeguards – including the ‘double lock’ for the most sensitive powers – set an international benchmark for how the law can protect both privacy and security.

    They can take my porn...

    ...from my cold, dead hands.

    But it's not just porn that this will affect - it will also cover all sorts of other stuff.

    Still, I'm alright, I have a VPN.
