"BT, Sky, TalkTalk and Virgin will be asked to offer customers the option to block adult content during subscription According to new measures to be announced by Prime Minister David Cameron, online pornography watchers will
have to place a special request with their Internet Service providers (ISPs) to watch pornographic or sexualised content online. The prime minister is holding a summit at No.10 today with 30 media and retail executives, including broadcasters, magazine editors, trade bodies and advertisers, said the Daily Mail. Cameron is expected to announce the crackdown after Mothers Union charity chief executive Reg Bailey submitted a report on the matter after six months of study." The fact that this can happen in Great Britain just goes to show how brittle concepts like freedom of speech really are. Where people in the Arab world fight for the kinds of freedom we have, we in the west just hand them over to extremists. Un-frakking-believable. Any British folk in here? How on earth did you guys let this happen?

No, they won't. DNS filters are trivial to circumvent.
As has been explained multiple times in this thread, it's a DNS filter. Word filtering on this scale would result in a return to dial-up speeds.
Then keep the PCs out of their rooms, put them in an open area, put a password on the PC, install filtering software at home. Any of the above. There's no reason why you have to wait for your gov't to do it. You were never powerless, only ignorant and you don't have that excuse any more.
This sentence doesn't even make sense. It's a binary: it's either on, or it's off. You don't get to tick each sub-genre of porn you want to watch.
