Prime Minister David Cameron’s plans to save children in the UK from porn websites seems to be running ineffective already. According to a BBC report these filters used by Internet Service Providers in the UK appears to be blocking valuable “sex education and advice on sexual health and porn addiction” websites instead of blocking hardcore porn sites. And now, a simple Google Chrome browser extension seems to allow anyone in the UK to enter those blocked porn websites easily with just a few clicks.

Hilariously titled “Go Away Cameron” Chrome extension has been developed by a hacker named nubela. After installing this extension, you simply have to log-in with an account and then start surfing blocked sites through this extension. According to the information on the GAC website, this method is not specific for users in the UK, it also “work anywhere, and with any websites that are blocked by firewall, universities, workplaces, nanny filters, or censorship.” Which means this tool is not necessarily for porn, but it can also be used to access other blocked websites on the Internet.

The creator of “Go Away Cameron” claims this is completely safe and doesn’t violate any laws in the UK as it stands as a simple “smart proxy service.” The Chrome extension is now available through Chrome Web Store and seems to have a lot of positive reviews from many users.
