UK Government to 'Ban' Porn

http://rt.com/news/cameron-pornography-uk-ban-416/

The Daily Mail of course has championed this...so, Draconian Laws 1 - Liberty 0?

When are conservative governments going to realise prohibition of anything doesn't really work?

Just to give everything the tl;dr version:

+ People will have to ask their ISP's to unblock porn sites
+ Porn links will be taken of Google
+ Rape videos are going to be illegal to watch...so I'm supposing that means there's going to be some degree of snooping going on?

I kinda feel like most importantly, porn is really hard to classify...when does nudity become pornography and how the hell does the government expect to regulate this?

e: I agree that blocking child porn and actual rape is a damn good thing, I just wanted to clarify that.
