    The Church of England do not support every server that make up the WWW. These sites just switch. If eventually they try to make every ISP in the UK block these sites, just hop on a proxy and the WWW is open once again, with the added bonus that if you use a good one, they are nigh on impossible to track.

    It's like china saying FB is band, nope.. I know many chinese that use proxies...

    What's more, schools try it and still kids use proxies, they schools are always one step behind in banning the proxies..

    (as a straight female) least page 3 ladies usually have a nice set of boobs, think of some of the sights a young children would see on the beach with women of all shapes and sizes going topless

    You should see some of the sights down in my town centre on a weekend, makes Page 3 look like the Waltons.

    Exactly, for every one they ban, three more pop up in its place. You don't even have to have a very high degree of I.T knowledge to use proxies.

    And like others have posted, banning an IP address does not stop the content being distributed via torrents or hosted on Cyberlocker sites. And again ban those three more appear or they change name or host. Its like dog chasing its tail.

    that's all very well, but shouldn't the parents be monitoring what the children can see, there is also perfectly good software available to buy that isnt expensive for parents to purchase.

    A good parent will control what their child can see on the internet, they wouldnt leave, !!!!!! lying around..

    Ever play little big planet? could it be on there?

    I am starting a petition to ban EastEnders as it has no positive effect on society. Scripted by morons, acted by morons, viewed by morons.

    p.s.- all advertising is pornography. Diet Coke moment ladies?

    because it normalises the objectification of women.

    I find it offensive because it is in a "news" paper. I don't, however, object to !!!!!!.

    I've signed both. !!!!!! if available should always be an opt-in it is far too accesible at the moment.

    Page 3 etc is not something to be seen by children

    do you know the first thing a child sees when its born ?
    its mothers breasts

    i dont think it should be opt in why why should people decide what others view on the internet as long as it isnt illegal
    if you dont like it dont visit the sites or using blocking software

    oh and page 3 is not !!!!!!
