As an adult without children I am beyond irritated at having my freedom to browse adult sites censored automatically ... responsible parents can install internet protection as they wish... and Cameron's ideas of what we should be allowed to access will actually infringe on my teaching of biology never mind anything else... it's dangerous when politicians decide what we can see and read ... the days of D H Lawrence's Lady Chattersley's Lover being banned are all coming back ....
and, there are always ways around censorship as I found out when I lived in Dubai with government censored internet access - any site with the word sex was banned, including any reference to Essex, Sussex, Middlesex etc ... even sending emails with the word sex were blocked, even in attachments ...
these plans will not protect children, responsible parenthood protects children ... as you say, news items alone can cause enough distress to adults, never mind children and there's open access to that everywhere...
