PM backs 'clean wi-fi' porn block in public places

Quote:
David Cameron has pledged to promote "good, clean, wi-fi" in public spaces.

It follows a campaign by a number of children's charities to get sites with adult content restricted in public areas with wi-fi internet access.

Mr Cameron told the Telegraph he wanted people to "have confidence in public wi-fi systems so that they are not going to see things they shouldn't".

The Children's Charities Coalition on Internet Safety welcomed the comments and said any deal was "long overdue".

Last year a cross-party parliamentary inquiry into how safe children are online concluded the government and internet service providers needed to do more to protect children from online pornography.

Since then government officials have been in discussion with wi-fi providers about filtering adult content by default on the services they provide directly to the public.

No opt ins or opt outs. Just 'we know best.'

In public, I don't really see the problem, although where does it end?

They really need to start running their ideas past a responsible adult before they go public with them.

While I can appreciate the reasoning what limits do they propose to it being extended elsewhere, will we start seeing the construction of the Great British Firewall?

if you really need your porn fix in Starbucks then get a VPN account

Exactly, though are there any figures that suggest that existing open wifi networks are being used for porn? I would doubt it. There may be the odd NSFW email or photo but to suggest that Starbucks or anywhere else has a problem with porn is ludicrous. Where are the facts.
