Some highlights from that Cameron speec h.
"Today, I am going to tread into territory that can be hard for our society to confront, that is frankly difficult for politicians to talk about...I want to talk about the internet, "
Because most of you are so f**king clueless about it perhaps?
"Once CEOP becomes a part of the National Crime Agency, that will further increase their ability to investigate behind pay walls to shine a light on the hidden internet and to drive prosecutions of those who are found to use it. "
Funny , I thought they were an industry funded body of non police people.
"to produce a single secure database of illegal images of children "
And it will be very bit as secure as the 200 000 personal details sent by HMRC through the post and which got lost. Twice. Handy if you want your CP "to go." It's got the ****ear Seal of Approval.
"It will also enable the industry to use the digital hash tags from the database to pro-actively scan for, block and take down these images wherever they occur. "
Aha. The Achilles heel of any pedophile ring, its meticulous (and standardized) picture tagging protocols.
<how we will make search engines throw up a warning, CP ahead message>
Well it's way cheaper than paying up the billions in tax they should be paying for the UK market.
"On Friday I sat with the parents of Tia Sharp and April Jones. "
Obligatory human interest aspect. Individual personal tragedy makes bad policy. Individual personal tragedy to whitewash a policy already decided is disgusting.
"If CEOP give you a black-list of internet search terms, will you commit to stop offering up any returns to these searches?
If in October we don’t like the answer we’re given to this question if the progress is slow or non-existent then I can tell you we are already looking at the legislative options we have to force action. "
"The cultural challenge is the fact that many children are watching online pornography - and finding other damaging material online – at an increasingly young age. "
Translation. Clare Perry's youngest showed me more filth in ten minutes than I saw in all my time at Eaton.
"But we as a society need to be clear and honest about what is going on. "
Hahahahahahhahahahaha.
And seriously?
"In a survey, a quarter of children said they’d seen pornography which had upset them."
And did they go looking for it? And did they stop looking for it afterward or did they just say "Damm that was fugly and move on to the next video?" Enquiring minds Davy
"Parents say – ‘we’ll do our best to raise our children right’ – and the state agrees to stand on their side; to make that job a bit easier, not harder.
But when it comes to internet pornography, parents have been left too much on their own and I am determined to put that right. "
No Clare Perry still can't set up a web filter, and frankly neither can I, but now we parents won't have to.
Highly amusing if you know the UK Conservative party as the government favoring personal responsibility and smaller governmental interference.
"Those who wanted default ‘on’ said – it’s a no-brainer just have the filters set to ‘on’ - then adults can turn them off if they want to and that way we can protect all children, whether their parents are engaged in internet safety or not.
But others said default ‘on’ filters could create a dangerous sense of complacency.
They said that with default filters, parents wouldn’t bother to keep an eye on what their kids are watching as they’d be complacent and assume the whole thing was taken care of"
And other said your plan was b***ocks to begin with.
"I appointed Claire Perry to take charge of this for the very simple reason that she is passionate about this issue and determined to get things done."
IE To get a seat in cabinet and a newspaper column. This is the women who wanted to age limit every website by a similar system to how gambling website work. Until it turned out several of them had fed the bank account details to scammers.
"And, in a really big step forward, all the ISPs have rewired their technology so that once your filters are installed, they will cover any device connected to your home internet account.
No more hassle of downloading filters for every device, just one click protection."
And saves them having to set up some kind of "sub account" management software, which costs them money and makes it clear you're in some one else's system at their sufferance.
"I know there are lots of charities and other organisations which provide vital online advice and support that many young people depend on.
And we need to make sure that the filters do not – even unintentionally – restrict this helpful and often educational content.
So I will be asking the UK Council for Child Internet Safety to set up a working group to ensure that this doesn’t happen as well as talking to parents about how effective they think the filter products are."
"UK Council for Child Internet Safety" WTF are these people?
"In the new national curriculum, launched just a couple of weeks ago, there are unprecedented requirements to teach children about online safety.
Which will be handled mostly by grossly unqualified teachers, some of whom probably want some help in downloading their pron.
"We need to teach our children not just about how to stay safe online but how to behave online too – on social media and over phones with their friends."
"Our parents kept an eye on us in the world they could see. "
But mostly packed us off to some school to be warehoused and raped by the staff most of the year, allegedly.
"We are closing the loophole – making it a criminal offence to possess internet pornography that depicts rape. "
Because y'know we need more laws in this area to arrest charge and imprison people for.
"And today I can announce we will be legislating so that videos streamed online in the UK
are subject to the same rules as those sold in shops.
Put simply – what you can’t get in a shop, you will no longer be able to get online."
Some of my relatives were farmers. I know s**t when I smell it.
"Everything I’ve spoken about today comes back to one thing: the kind of society we want to be.
I want Britain to be the best place to raise a family.
A place where your children are safe.
Where there’s a sense of right and wrong, and boundaries between them.
Where children are allowed to be children."
Translation "I want an internet where children can remain children forever and not learn anything that might scare them. Like how much we will spy on them for the rest of their lives. "
Having read the full speech I think I can say that I was very moved, in a gastrointestinal sense. The experience was truly, quite abnormal.
