Industry and government work together to tackle internet terror

The Home Secretary's statement

Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said, 'Stopping people becoming or supporting terrorists is the major long-term challenge we face. I want to give parents and guardians the power to decide what content is downloaded on their computers at home, which is why we have worked hard to develop these tools with various software companies.

'Building on the work we have done around child protection on the Internet, this software is a significant step in making the Internet a safer place for vulnerable people and these tools will also offer our schools, colleges and businesses further safety nets.'

As the expression goes, the devil is in the detail, 'Building on the work we have done around child protection on the Internet'

A carefully orchestrated manipulation of the reality of the know risk of children encountering unsavoury types or material over the net, very improbable, to the perceived risk fostered in society, a perceived high risk, used to develop system of control over the web and hence control information, free speech and thought



Further, I can see how these software filtering packages will become mandatory over time..

Email from ISP...

Dear Internet Junkie

We see from our monitoring systems that you are not using the free, government approved filtering software provided for your safety and convenience.
We strongly suggest that you take advantage of the peace of mind that when ever you or those whom you love are not exposed to any form of unofficial indoctrination.

Some time later..

Dear Internet Junkie

We see from our monitoring systems that you are still not using the free, government approved filtering software provided for your safety and convenience.
We strongly suggest that unless you take advantage of the peace of mind that when ever you or those whom you love are not exposed to any form of unofficial indoctrination, we will be forced to terminate our contract and service with you and report your none-compliance with the relevant authorities.

Yours.
