>Taking the initiative following the British government’s interest in bringing forward theInvestigatory Powers Bill, Sky has announced that it will be introducing its filtering system automatically for all new customers (it won’t even ask first) and will even go so far as to instigate a watershed-like system. Before 9PM, no new Sky customers will be able to access websites that are considered too racy for a PG rating.

So you phone them up and tell them to disable it? Sky is my ISP and I have no problems with them.

You know, I should be totally against this, but if I'm being honest with myself, having unfiltered access to the internet from an early age has completely fucked me up. Every type of extreme porn you can imagine, from scat to bestiality to children to necrophilia. Murders, torture, extreme animal abuse... just an open window into how amazingly fucked up humanity is.

If I ever have kids, I'm going to do everything in my power to stop them being exposed to the same type of things I have been, because I'd pay a lot of money to remove some of the things I've seen from my memory.

You should just kill yourself already.
Internet is a human right, just like healthcare.
You want it filtered you filter it yourself, there are plenty of software solutions for cucks like you, but leave the rest of us alone.

That can be done by proper education and parenting. I'm kind of sick and tired of people who go all "corporations and schools should keep me away from doing my job as a parent". Sure, you might not have enough time for your kids but it still doesn't excuse the fact that many aren't there to stop their children and when they are "exposed" to this shit they all bitch and whine and please take it off the shelves because even though I'm supposed to see what my kid is buying with his not so hard earned cash, I'm not going to do it.

Who decides what sites get a PG rating? Pretty sure any site with a comments section isn't PG.

How has it fucked you up exactly? Is it that you spent all day at home jacking off to weird porn instead of playing with your friends and establishing a social life?

You know who's fault that is? Its your fault and your parents' fault. Its not the fault of content providers

Why is it that people who grew up on Doom, Quake, absurd amount of 90's violence (I must have been like 6 when I watched the first or second Rambo movie) are a-ok?

Sure you are

By the age of 14 I have seen quite a lot of shit that most people I know think it's really fucked up and shouldn't even be displayed. Hell I can't even bring some things up in public conversation and I'm almost 28 now.

However I'm going to say, while I'm a pretty fucked individual, it's not because I had access to that content. I could have been equally as perverted as I am now without having stumbled upon shit even in real life.

In fact I have to say that being less sensitive to things like these could generally be more useful. We didn't get to this point in humanity by being all safe and ignorant.
>>
>>51994974
There's a massive difference between over the top movie violence and some of the truly dark stuff you can find online. Coming to terms with fake violence is easy, because you know it's fake. Those people didn't get hurt. They didn't die. They're actors and they're fine. It isn't so easy when you know things are real, and that things weren't okay.

Seeing so much of how fucked up the world is via the internet at such a young age has definetly changed me for the worse. I was arrogant enough to think at the time that watching these things had no effect on me. Turns out I was wrong. Seeing that level of depravity and sickness and suffering leaves scars.

He's suggesting someone who endorses censorship to kill himself.

I think he's a good enough person already.
>>
>>51994877
Is it really better to live in ignorance though? Parents can control what their children do on the internet themselves, with programs or actual parenting. having the system itself modified for everyone instead is a hamfisted solution.

>>51994957
it's probably just a porn filter, nothing more. They might have an actual blacklist of specific websites like 4chan though.

>>51994877
>but if I'm being honest with myself, having unfiltered access to the internet from an early age has completely fucked me up.
so your parents fucked you up, not the internet.
>>
>>51994877
>unfiltered
>i'm weak
>I can't control my urges

That's a you problem.
Oh, and your shit parents.

Should there be age restrictions to things in general? No.
Should there be education on these things so people actually understand them? Yes.
I've been exposed to violent games since 5, watched porn in my pre-teens and I am fine.
I'm not running around killing people. I'm not running around raping children. I'm not in some weird secret cult.
I'm not destroying my body or wasting away like some fat worthless cunt that basically hasn't been exposed to these things. (aka, your generic normie)

>>51994990
>registered millionaires have posted here
>actual celebrities regularly post here
Yeah, na, fuck off newkid.
4chan never was the waster hangout you think it is. Maybe /b/, post-2006, then /r9k/.
gb2/b/.
>you will never post on 2003-2005 4chan ever again.
Now that's an actual fucking sad frog right there. Pepe just killed himself. Twice.

>Is it really better to live in ignorance though?

You think it's better to have seen child porn and people being tortured and killed than not?

>>51995596
>so your parents fucked you up

It's completely unrealistic to have expected parents to have known enough about the internet 17 years ago to know to keep their child away from it. There weren't ten news stories a day on Fox News about hackers on steroids and the pedo lurking behind every bush back then.

>>51996072
>blah blah blah I'm so great

You sound like an obnoxious, autistic asshole. Maybe it had more of an effect than you're willing to admit? Maybe you wouldn't be shitposting and abusing people on 4chan today had you not grown up being exposed to sex and violence from an early age? Who knows, right?
>>
>>51996146
Yeah, I'd probably be worse off. I'd probably be normal and an unquestioning asshole instead!
THE HORROR.

Also,
>abusing people on 4chan.
ahaha. I'm dying, someone call the waambulance pls.

>implying everyone on 4chan is a sociopathic autist

Yeah, no. Most people here just have similar hobbies and like to shitpost unfiltered.

I saw goatse on a BBS when I was 8. I saw a lot of other shit too. I see no ill effects. I've never really even got into fapping to porn routinely, unlike most of my generation.

It's by sheltering kids from the world that we produce the crybabies who attend universities these days who demand anything that offends them be censored.

That being said, some individuals are more sensitive and you don't want them to get too spooked, so just not letting them on the computer until they're 7 or 9 or something sounds reasonable.

probably another shitty DNS filter, which is trivial to avoid (and implement, which is why they do it)
if it is, then it's literally nothing
