The filters are voluntary OPT OUT for the end user*.

I know it seems insignificant, but it makes a big difference.

Also, I am right in thinking, this hasn't been proposed as a bill yet to the house of commons/lords? I feel as Cameron has a long history of broken promises.

Yes, my family and myself had our passports stolen in Tenerife (now known as Tenergrief in my family, wasn't the best of holidays) and we flew back to the UK on a police report (which was in Spanish).

Bosence··on Xbox One: Microsoft's All-In-One Home Entertainment System
I can't wait till families start having loud arguments about what show they want to watch, each trying to be louder than the other, so it picks up their voice. This was designed for families.
