What about young adults? If I'm living under my parents' roof (which I am at the moment) and they choose to block it (which is their right - they pay for the internet) - suddenly I'm not allowed to watch something that is perfectly legal; despite being of legal age and wanting to watch legal content. And how are they going to regulate sites like Tumblr where people reblog porn and smut all the time? Is a 14 year old girl's blog going to be blocked because she reposted a topless picture of Channing Tatum dripping in baby oil? Where is the line here? Opt out is shaming people into disclosing information; opt in is allowing the pious, the concerned and the responsible to disable and those of us who aren't parents or religious or whatever the case are left with full access to porn. I watch porn, I'm not going to be ashamed to admit it because this legislation is going to provoke people into talking about sex either way and I think even in this thread there have been several jokes about "men are tossers" and comments about people being prudish. People's views on this will hinge entirely on their age, gender, libido, whether or not they have kids and what their religious views are - that much I can guarantee.
