"Painfully opt-out"?

You untick a box on the signup form. You're not put on the sex offenders register.

Which register are you put on? Or are you willing to state that you are completely sure that you are put on no register at all and this information that you "unticked a box" will not be used against you?

None, to my knowledge. Your ISP obviously has a 'no filters' flag somewhere, but they're not exactly telling the Government.

We have pretty strict privacy laws, using it against you would probably be illegal.
