David Cameron's preferred pornfiltering system is run by Huawei, just FYI

British authorities have never had exactly the same level of anxiety by Huawei we have seen in the United States, and so far I've been happy to let the Chinese company participated in many parts of the information infrastructure of the country. Consequently, the control of the company even extends to the filter "Homesafe" used by the Internet service provider TalkTalk, which recently praised David Cameron for his push for tighter controls on adult content. The BBC has revealed that employees of the British company Huawei is able to decide which sites are blocked by Talk Talk, and even users who choose their HomeSafe Internet usage data routed through the system of Huawei. Whether or not this is an issue depends entirely on how much you trust the reports of close links between Huawei and the Chinese government, with the demand of Huawei that these concerns are based on prejudice against the Chinese rather than evidence. From a purely practical point of view, however, if the mission is to block the vast expanses of the Internet, why not hire an expert?
