UK Porn Filter Will Censor Other Content Too, ISPs Reveal

http://j.mp/1brhJZk  (TorrentFreak)

   This week prime minister David Cameron announced further details of
   his crusade to have adult material censored in the UK. It's a
   controversial topic for a number of reasons, with even those
   unconcerned about losing access to porn wondering what will be
   censored next. Apparently the government have already thought that
   through. According to ISPs speaking with the Open Rights Group, the
   filter will target a range of other content too ... Furthermore, in
   news that's unlikely to win the PM or TalkTalk many fans, it's now
   been revealed by the BBC that HomeSafe is being run by Huawei, a
   Chinese company founded by a former China People's Liberation Army
   officer.  The UK government already knows about the connection, as an
   Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC) report released last month
   expressed concern over the "alleged links between Huawei and the
   Chinese State" as they "generate suspicion as to whether Huawei's
   intentions are strictly commercial or are more political."

And note the Chinese connection!  I have a Hangout On Air scheduled to
discuss this all at 2 PM today PDT (10 PM BST). It may have to be
changed or cancelled, but if there's enough interest I will do all I
can to make it happen on schedule. Please see:
