UK Government proposes porn-viewing ID
<dons flameproof suit><p>Something has to be done. It's not just about porn or violence of NSFL etc... but there is a serious problem on the internet, that is always lambasted with the "Won't somebody think of the children" memes.<p>When society has reached a point that anybody with internet access can, simply by 'accidentally' going to the wrong website, be exposed to imagery that really is not going to help them be well-adjusted in life, without any safeguards in place, there is something wrong.<p>Whilst there are privacy concerns regarding any ID situation, nobody seems to be trying to solve the problem in other ways, short of limiting internet access (which causes other outcries).<p>I'm all for a better solution, but nobody seems to be proposing one.<p>(For the moment, as a parent, my young daughter doesn't get any unaccompanied internet access - I am thinking of my child)<p>How <i>do</i> we solve this problem ?<p>Edit: It's interesting to note diminishing points for a post that asks how to solve a problem. Obviously some people feel very strongly that even questioning the situation is wrong.
