Should The Internet Be Censored And Controlled?

[nebulan]

I agree with what's been said, every side of the story.

Parent's should be able to filter what their minors see on the internet. but that can be done with third party software or just stick the family computer in a public area. the government doesn't need to get involved.

Restrictions won't stop the most determined and therefore will only hurt the honest.

I also agree that any attempts to use the internet for child exploitation should be dealt with on a criminal level, but that Hilter quote does scare me. How far can you twist the definition of "child protection"?

I think the quote means that while you focus the population on protecting your childreen they will endure any kind of hardship that the government can dream up, including gross civil rights incursions.

Of course if you get a VPN you can bypass the filters hehe......

or anymous proxies, like in China where these are necessary to access certain addresses that the govt considers "subversive" (Amnesty International website for instance)

I think the question that should be asked is.

"Could" the internet...

No. Therefore - answered.



There are a lot of clever people out there and thousands...millions of sites. It's impossible.

Alright, my personal opinion is <snip>.

Sorry if that was a bit long winded, but I think that details exactly my position, based onr ational argument and analysis.

For those that understand technical things here is the testing framework the government has set up... I'm told it is hilarious and has lots of holes

You say that now, but one day you could have something to hide. And then, would you really want someone to be looking over your shoulder?
