Virgin Media already has something like this, although iirc it was just for new accounts. You have the choice, its just on by default.

Is 4chan adult content? Will we finally be saved from British shitposting?

>>55456498
As opposed to all of the American shit posting?

Sky blocks any kind of torrenting site too. Including websites for Torrenting clients such as Deluge or qbittorrent are straight out blocked. Also, any mention of anonyimising software whether it be on forums etc results in the webpage being blocked.

They're an Orwellian ISP

You lads haven't been browsing any un-christian materials have you? Don't want to have to send Officer Plod around for a visit.

>>55456602
>in the meantime no kid has ever gotten their porn from subscription porn sites but rather shit like 4chan, reddit, and torrents that have no obligation to comply with the UK's laws

It's like they're 20 years behind the rest of the world. I still remember when I was a kid using credit card generators to create bullshit porn site accounts.

>>55456602
Now that you mention it... Didn't porn sites have this shitty "age verification" in the beginning?

I mean it was just the bullshit that said click yes if you're over 18, but still. Haven't seen that shit in ages

>not from the UK btw

>>55456665
If it's not Christians, it's socialists. Cant have you browse material that objectifies women.

Fat porn is OK tho.

>>55456787
Germany had a bit fancier age verification where you put your id code in.
There used by quite a lot of generators around that would calculate a valid code though.

>>55456595
They haven't blocked Deluge you fucking retard. I just went on to there site right now, can download it fine.

What is it with cuckistanis and pulling shit like this?

>>55456498
Yes, 4chan is blocked by the filter.

>>55456816
Really? I'm German and can't remember that.

I can remember the "click yes if you're over 18" though, but that was before geo location was a thing and all porn sites were just English, so I think it wasn't really aimed at Germans

>>55456908
I meant on German porn sites, it wasn't some filter thing that applied to every site.
But it's been over a decade since I was on shitty German porn and skiddie sites so I don't know if they are still doing that.

>>55456953
T-there are German porn sites? As in, hosted in Germany etc.?

Shit I never knew. I thought that was an all American business

>>55456967
Germans have some nasty shit, you've been living a sheltered existence my friend.

>>55456832
Was blocked for me in London, as were any sites mentioning torrents

The broadband contract with sky started only 2 years ago there so might have something to do with it

>>55456967
yeah and it's all piss porn or german goo girls

couldn't you just use a different dns or a vpn?

>>55457085
http://www.proxybunker.co.uk/proxy-links.html

Their block is pitiful.

>>55456486 Why do you ever need access to anything else then your trusty vpn server?

>pornographic magazines will be a thing again

Kek, only VHS and static images for the wankers. Good job electing Muslims

>I only stream porn
one more reason to store a tera of porn

>>55456486
Where's the crying Statue of Liberty? Or, I don't know, Margaret Thatcher?

Seriously, this is old news from 2013, we called it the Great Firewall of Cameron: I talked to Theresa May about this, personally, and RevK submitted evidence about it (and his ISP, Andrews & Arnold, just flat out doesn't do it - if you want filtering, he says, fuck off and choose a different ISP).

She's a real bitch, and now she's probably going to be Prime Minister. We are so fucked.

However, everyone's supposed to be asked if they want blocking or not when they sign up. You opt out, it's gone... except they do have the equipment still, so some torrent sites like The Pirate Bay (a good canary for this shit) are still blocked - those mandated by the High Court because they do have the equipment, so the Court figured it could make them use it. Oh, and those on the Internet Watch Foundation's block-list: those are URLs flagged as containing child porn, although honestly the vast majority of the domains uncovered by my research (which, by the way, does not visit any websites, I don't want that shit) are expired, invalid, or just plain look spammy, they seem to have a very short half-life. I haven't seen any obvious mis-listing on the IWF list, except notably that one time they blocked Wikipedia because of the Scorpions' album cover, which was arguably technically correct, but obviously bollocks and swiftly withdrawn before they ruffled too many feathers.

Sky's blocking is broadly speaking based on BT's "Cleanfeed" - an IP-block-level transparent proxy that uses ARP poisoning. Affected IP blocks have port 80 forwarded via Squid for URLs that don't match the filter; it returns either blocked pages or 404s for others (instead of the correct 451 or 403 status code). It can be circumvented by numerous techniques, including most VPNs, Tor, and a few others I won't talk about here. It can be mass-exploited to redirect or inject … actually no, not gonna disclose that either.

BSkyB customer here.
There will be an opt-out. And if there isn't, I will change ISP, or just use the VPN I pay for.

>>55456498
if it isn't australia then why bother?

>no one's made a skynet joke yet
what are you doing

>>55461480
They actually sued Microsoft over the name SkyDrive, and that's why they changed it.
They also tried to get then to change Skype, but failed.
They really are a scummy company

>>55460230
Were you a sensible man, and hence a member of the conservative party, you would be eligible to vote for Andrea to lead the party. Not only will she end the ridiculous ban on fox hunting, she won't be Theresa May!

>torrent porn
>totally unsuspicious to unlock torrenting as everyone does it
wew so hard

>>55456595
Sky customer here. The adult filter can be turned off again. Also, Sky, like all ISPs, didn't give a shit about torrent sites until they started getting court orders to block them.

>>55456486
Remember when the onion was funny and not being a hillary plant?

Reminder that the next prime minister will probably be Theresa "Snoopers Charter" May

>>55461536
And they delayed No Man's Sky with legal bullshit.

>>55461617
any ban that upsets arsehole toffs is fine by me.

The Left is the new evangelical Right
What went wrong /g/?

>>55460230
>not gonna disclose that either.
Why not? Share

>>55461670
They seem to think they own the word Sky

I hope Rupert Murdoch can sleep well at night

>>55461684
Remember, it's only through robbing the toffs that the socialists keep their bureaucracy running.

>>55461696
The left has always been totalitarian, apart from the small division of anarchic libertarians. Nothing has changed.

>>55461696
The evangelical right is still retarded, but you're right, the left is what should be worried about right now.

>>55461865
>robbing
lol. They're only toffs in the first place because they let the riff-raffs pick up their tax bill.

>>55456595
>Also, any mention of anonyimising software whether it be on forums etc results in the webpage being blocked.
Honestly? What's their reasoning behind that?

>>55462047
The plebs don't generate any wealth - they only live in comfort by virtue of the poor laws and all that has comes since. Don't forget that the top 10% contribute over 50% of tax. When you then note that they also own the companies, and hence pay your NI, and the corporation tax that goes with their success, it's quite obvious that it's a system of enforced charity towards the poor.
