Claire Perry recently attended an event about tackling domestic violence
So glad @claire4devizes could join us at our #Footballunited event this afternoon!

Despite numerous reports of Internet filters causing overblocking of domestic abuse help websites including a warning from Woman’s Aid Chief Executive Polly Neate;
Women’s Aid is warning that the new ‘porn filters’ used by most major internet service providers may be putting women experiencing domestic violence and others at risk.
It has been revealed that filters used by all four major providers are blocking access to lifesaving websites providing information on domestic violence and sexual health.
The charity is highlighting that it could be very dangerous for a woman experiencing domestic violence to ‘opt-in’ to domestic violence information sites, as her partner may check her computer and see she’s been accessing the information.Polly Neate Dec 2013
Claire Perry is insisting that such concerns and warnings are “peddling dangerous rubbish”
@NetworkString- as you know that is total fantasy but if it makes you happy to peddle that dangerous rubbish then hey, have a great day.

Is this MP simply sticking their head in the sand so as not to accept the damage they’ve caused or do they want to appear to be doing one thing regardless of what their actions actually cause?
How many children have been unable to reach the NSPCC or Childline website and how many woman have been unable to reach rape or domestic abuse help websites now that the filters are in place?
Claire Perry tweeted today that she believes that laws about smoking with a Child in the car are unenforceable and “bad”.
By extension it follows that Ms Perry believes that laws about driving whilst drunk, driving whilst high, driving without a seatbelt and driving whilst using a mobile phone without hands free are also unenforceable “bad” laws.
This is the MP who thinks that the Internet can be filtered…
I'm undecided about today's vote on smoking ban cars w/child passengers. Heart says "ban it", head says "unenforceable bad law". Thoughts?

Two days after internet porn-blocking campaigner MP Claire Perry announced ISP filters were not overblocking content, the government has announced it is.
On top of that Ms Perry consistently berates her constituents and steadfastly sticks to the story that filters aren’t overblocking;
@weborguk do grow up. Or perhaps get on with some work like the rest of us are trying to do!

@mrowebot @graphiclunarkid afraid that's total rubbish too. Filters are current device level (or better) lifted to home network.

@graphiclunarkid This is a classic example of the total rubbish talked about giving families more help to manage internet access.
