Politician tactics
And yet you've got MPs once again proposing shit like mandatory censorship of ALL UK ISPs and Mobile Phone operators as a means of supposedly protecting children from pornography *. (As usual, no mention of violent or any other non-sexual materials that could be equally unsuitable for children).
Given the reaction of many people to the trojan's claim of having found "offensive materials" on their computers, do MPs really think that adults won't be restricted by having to contact their ISPs and specifically requesting that the "porn be turned back on".
They're just using the same technique as blackmailers in order to allow a "great wall" style blanket internet filter to be put in place (which, of course, can and will be extended and abused as was the case with RIPA, Extradition laws, Section 44 and njust about everything else.)
* Yes, I am aware that the latest proposal is just a private members bill.
