@Hicham – thanks for your reaction.
Seems like the Governments do not like the fact that people are able to “know more” and are getting more “independent”….

As for the child pornography…. I do agree with banning – but that should happen via “catching those bastards”…
A filter is going to do something like what I wrote in the following article (who decides what is – child – pornography…?);

I don’t know why the concept of banning is ganning more grounds in many places today? We’re supposed to know what’s right from what’s wrong plus this might be abused like banning all sites that “don’t share you with your opnion” for example becuase “you don’t like them”!

When it comes to child pornography, it’s something different because it’s a discrimination aganist kids that should definetly be banned; it’s about ‘morals’ but other stuff about ‘opinions’

ugh!

@mike o -> you are right about that – that is why I have big doubts about the whole “filtering”….soon WorldWideWeb will be “the web as your Government it wants to be”…..

It’s a slippery slope. Filtering content will affect legit websites and generally open the door to even scarier legislation.

But should we be protected at all costs…??
Personally I think it is very scary if a Government is starting to filter the internet…. soon we have to change the WorldWideWeb before sjeltur.nl; www(with exceptions).sjeltur.nl

This is one of those you are dammed if you do dammed if you don’t situations. The government needs to protect the people of there country.
