You know, porno is just an excuse for the government to do censorship. Before Chinese government cracked down the majority of opposing voices on the Internet, they did it in the name of anti-porno. They officially banned Google.com because they found porno there (but we all knew the real reason).
Australia learned the trick and started to do the same. Looked at how screwed it is now.
Don't be naive.
- corin_ 16y agoCan people stop reading opinions into what I said please - I said that it could be a problem, not that I think we need to keep government control because of it...
- riobard 16y agoI didn't downvote you. It is indeed a problem. The problem of this problem, though, is that some people are using it as an excuse to create even bigger problems. For all of us. Some experienced this before. We are experiencing it now. People making .P2P are trying to undo these problems. The real problem of child porno is so small that it is basically a non-issue in practice compared to all the problems that are created to fix it. There should be better ways.
- jackvalentine 16y agoWhat is with the Australia comment?
- jbjohns 16y agoHe's talking about the Australian black list (which I think is no longer in play).
- Nick_C 16y agoThere always was a black list, for child porn etc, but the proposal was to dramatically expand it to include lots of other categories. Then the Libs said they won't support, and it seemed to have died. However, from only a couple of days ago, here is some evidence, admittedly third hand, that some of the expanding has already taken place (3rd para, and near the end): http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/oct/14/wikileaks-says-funding-is-blocked http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2010/oct/14/wikileaks-says-f...
