UK porn block to be controlled by CHINA
[quote]The pornography filtering system praised by David Cameron is controlled by the controversial Chinese company Huawei, the BBC has learned.
UK-based employees at the firm are able to decide which sites TalkTalk's net filtering service blocks.
Politicians in both the UK and US have raised concerns about alleged close ties between Huawei and the Chinese government.
The company says the worries are without foundation and prejudiced.
On Monday the Prime Minister said TalkTalk had shown "great leadership" in setting up its system, Homesafe, which it has offered to customers since 2011.
TalkTalk told the BBC it was comfortable with its relationship with Huawei, and that the service was very popular.
Homesafe is a voluntary scheme which allows subscribers to select categories - including social media, gambling and pornography - that they want blocked.
Customers who do not want filtering still have their traffic routed through the system, but matches to Huawei's database are dismissed rather than acted upon.[/quote]
Guess if you want to do something right, look to the masters of Censorship. This is getting worse and worse, why should a foreign company be getting all our information of our computer usage?

I wish I could opt out of speed limits. Or better yet, replace the HOV lane with an autoban lane. At least the highway patrol are to busy going 20+ over themselves to give a -blam!-, but speed limits are still too damn slow.

3 Replieslol. I love how some people are making a larger fuss about this relatively benign default blocking of pornography (you can select to deactivate the filter) than the [url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2013/jun/21/gchq-cables-secret-world-communications-nsa]massive information theft perpetrated by a collaboration of UK/US government bodies.[/url] Seriously, their in-house slogan is 'Mastering the Internet', and you choose to focus on an insignificant pornography ban instead?
