Earlier this year the UK’s largest Internet provider, BT Group Inc (BT, Formally British Telecom), announced they were going to begin filtering their customers access to online content, including mainstream pornography sites such as Orgasm.com, a decision which was highly supported by the British Government and British Prime Minister David Cameron. The controversial announcement led to an online out cry by free speech activists around the globe, claiming the restriction of online content was a violation of their rights, however those claims were quickly undermined by the government and mainstream media as they claimed restricting the general publics access would hinder the online actions of child pornographers.

With 2014 just around the corner, BT have committed to their project and activated their Internet filters for all new customers who sign up with them. Existing customers will be asked over the course of the next year if they would like to ‘opt in’, with the options being “Strict”, “Moderate” & “Light”. All three filters cover pornography, ‘obscene and tasteless’ content, hate and self-harm, drugs, alcohol and tobacco and dating sites.

In order for new customers to ‘opt out’ of BT’s filtering process, one will have to contact BT and express their interest in filterless content, sparking fears amongst libertarian and free speech movements that opting out will result in your name or account being put on a government watch list, putting the everyday pornography watcher under the same umbrella as child predators and terrorists.

Truth be told, there are a number of ways online users can get around Internet filters and find the adult content they are looking for.
