Italy's Far-Right Pushes Vote on Default Online Block for Adult Content

Next Monday, Italy’s Camera (their equivalent to the House of Representatives) is due to vote on a lengthy piece legislation concerning wiretapping and several other issues. Simone Pillon, a representative from the far right Lega (formerly Lega Nord, or “Northern League”) party, has inserted an amendment requiring all adult sites be automatically blocked by device manufacturers and at the ISP level, with subscribers individually having to call in and request the block to be lifted.
