I upgraded to the 4G EE network and found that they had a filter already set up on the mobile dongle and it was activated by default. The first site I visited was WordRef the online dictionary and it was blocked and then I tried more sharing orientated sites and they were also blocked. I tried Google image search using risque terms and the results were filtered. I searched online on how to unblock and the EE site said fill out this form (of course you have to use your real name and provide address, email, etc – which is what most dongle users don’t want to be bothered with) and you will be able to turn off the filtering. So I did that and absolutely nothing changed. The next day I rang my local EE shop (UK) and they said to have the filter removed I had to go to the shop with proof of ID. So I did that and the next day I could access sites freely. It took three days and a journey into town. If you enjoy the anonymity of dongles then be aware that EE want proof of your real name, address and age. With respects to 4G it really is fast and I downloaded at speeds comparable to a landline and EE has not censored sites like TPB and UTorrent worked fine for me. In the end your ISP can work out who you are and where you are whichever network you’re so not an issue as such. Filters should not be enabled by default on a new product. All 3G dongle users should upgrade to 4G – super fast. Also EE have a fair use policy which has come into some criticism – check online. As for Cameron and the Tories – bullshit – this country hardly produces anything to sell to the world yet wants to pretend its a big player and homelessness and poverty is a reality for millions in this country due to his government. policies. Filter the Tories not the Net.

I’m a greasy slimeball and I feel offended too by your comparison to Cameron…

[…] a recipe for disaster. It’s already resulting in legitimate websites being blocked, and filters being abused to further commercial agendas. The longer this shambles is allowed to continue, the more damage will be done to the digital […]

Most people in the porn industry do it because they have no qualms about doing it. Its easy money and they are having fun. Very few are forced into it by situation or addiction and if they didn’t like it at some level then they just wouldn’t do it in the first place. I’ve seen -alot- of porn. Its extremely rare to see a set of someone not wanting to be there, or not enjoying it. Is it really that hard to understand that there are just highly sexual people out there that simply like showing off? Its a legal industry and its fine. What you are talking about is human trafficking and that has nothing to do with the porn industry, its illegal and any decent porn site not only wont accept the material, but call law enforcement as well.

As for an “addiction” to watching porn. Don’t be a complete tool. We are men and women, and we have needs, its as simple as that. There is nothing to be ashamed of, there is nothing wrong with it either.

I have been in quite a few videos myself. Why? Because its fun. Because i enjoy it. Being on camera does add its spice, and to be quite frank i like showing off. There is nothing wrong with it at all, people just are to immature, or insecure and attack others to hide their own flaws. Its just people having sex, nothing special.
