View Full Version : Australian Net Nanny? jtace 12-08-2005, 08:48 AM http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/05/12/08/0047235.shtml?tid=95&tid=17 Just found this curious. Hopefully the rest of the senators are smarter then that. I know there's a few idiots here in the US I worry about too. KyzrSoze 12-08-2005, 01:33 PM Besides stepping on individual freedom, filtering is an inexact process at best. It is likely that as many "innocent" as "guilty" would be blocked from access.:( TMM 12-08-2005, 07:25 PM Not going to happen (thankfully ;D). Its impossible to index every single porn site and block it. More over reliably filter ONLY porn - im sure things would get muffed up and legit SFW sites would get blocked. chris 12-09-2005, 03:09 AM Ah, but there are other motives! Who says it should be restricted to "adult" content.. It could be applied to non-conforming political content as well (anything critical of the government, or exposing government scandals). It's another case of our government restricting freedoms of speech for its own political benefit. TMM: Welcome to RP. :) Haven't seen you here before. :) |
