Ban pornsites with illegal content and those who use illegal keywords in their page descriptions
Did you know that some adult websites host illegal content?
Did you know that some adult content websites actually include keywords in their page/content descriptions? So even if you haven't typed in underage, incest or Lolita. Those key words are stored on your computer and the authorities would simply assume that you had intended to view illegal content.
Did you know that websites which operate pop-ups tend to use these keywords? So if you come across just one of these websites, due to the number of pop-ups that are activated. It may look like you have actually submitted numerous searches for illegal content.
One way to stop people falling for this trap is to remove these websites from the internet for good.
Sign this petition to make the government do something about this growing problem, to force erotic entertainment providers to join the trusted erotic entertainment providers’ alliance and sign an agreement not to operate in an illegal manner.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The vast majority of the UK ISP industry takes a responsible approach to what content it hosts, both of its own volition and in co-operation with law enforcement and Government agencies. Where the industry is advised that content they host contravenes legislation, they will readily remove it. In addition, ISPs have contracts with their customers called good practice Acceptable Use Policies (AUPs), which they have recently strengthened, about what may be hosted on their servers.
Complaints about a particular website’s content should first be directed to the site’s manager. Most AUPs already contain a general clause which allows ISPs to remove sites or content which contain offensive or objectionable material, even if it is not illegal. Arrangements similar to AUPs apply to many websites, including social networking sites. Those people, who find user content offensive or suspect, should therefore report their concerns to the appropriate social network site.
