UK conservatives promise age limits on "porn" sites -- globally
(Guardian):
http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/apr/04/tories-promise-to-enforce-age-limits-on-online-pornography
"The culture secretary, Sajid Javid, said the party would act to ensure
under-18s were locked out of adult content after a recent Childline
poll found nearly one in 10 12-13 year olds were worried they were
addicted and 18% had seen shocking or upsetting images. Experts
welcomed the move - targeted at both UK-based and overseas websites -
but warned it would take hard work to implement in practice. Under
the Tory proposals the system would be overseen by an independent
regulator with the power to compel internet service providers (ISPs)
to block sites which failed to include effective age verification."

Not a chance, silly boys. You're not going to stuff that genie back
into the bottle, despite your pandering.
