The petition aims to make porn something people have to choose to unblock instead of being a "standard feature." The move follows the United Kingdom's recent decision to block porn unless people opt in with their Internet providers."

I'm really hoping this is actually happening and not some fake scam, because this is fantastic! This is probably the best article I've come across in a long time. The effects of porn in America is astonishing. The number of innocent people who stumble across porn while innocently surfing the internet is outrageous as well. I'm mostly concerned and interested in protecting young children, which this article is aimed at. If this has already taken place in the U.K., what's stopping us from making this happen here in the U.S.? Let's sign that petition so we can make this a reality!

Of course as soon as I get all excited about this and post it for the world to see, I read more on the subject and realize this idea is crap and will never work. It's just too complicated. This just shows - do your research before you jump into something.
