Britain: Proposed Law Would Require ISPs and Device Makers to Filter Internet by Default

Will VPNs be outlawed? *chortle*
Via: PC Pro:
A new bill presented to the House of Lords demands both ISPs and device makers filter adult content.
The Online Safety Bill, raised in the Lords by Baroness Howe of Ildicote, asks for ISPs and mobile operators to “provide a service that excludes pornographic images” and for device makers to include ways to filter content at the point of purchase.
The proposal is a Private Members Bill, which rarely make it into law without Government support, and has yet to be subject to any debate.
