Posting this because the UK has some pretty unpleasant law at the moment, and it's not bizarre to suggest they might extend the snooper's charter stuff and the PREVENT agenda stuff to force service providers to report people watching certain materials.

About the OP: Some of these children are undoubtedly the victims of abusive parents. Here's a nice example (also because the decision was written so that it could be mostly understood by the children involved in the case) http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWFC/HCJ/2016/9.html But still, it's disturbing that so many people are on the lists. So far less than 1,000 UK citizens have travelled out of the UK for terrorist purposes.

They are already extending the snoopers charter. The Digital Economy bill is going through parliament at an amazing rate. It talks a lot about saving kids from porn, but actually introduces internet censorship into the UK!!! This government has no concept of human rights
