They only serve us on paper, in reality they end up serving the oligarchs in big business and powerful lobbyists and pressure groups. Some of those pressure groups being front organizations for radical feminists and evangelical Christians, having hidden agendas. Who are big proponents of censorship in the name of supposedly protecting our morals. This has been going on for decades, since the 1970s at least. Some of these organizations have even renamed themselves to hide their religious origins, operating under the name of preventing human trafficking and sexual abuse. There's even a name for it: "femi-servatives", a portmantau of feminism and conservatives. Yes, an unusual alliance.

" The focus on sex trafficking, therefore, becomes yet another channel through which Christian institutions are able to carry out their sex-negative agenda, particularly by casting themselves as Rescuer, Redeemer, and even the familiar role of Western male hero saving the passive and helpless female. "

Finally, it's disturbing in how the two-way (transmit/receive) nature of the Internet as a medium, has virtually let all these "morality police" organizations into our homes, to watch over us, through their lobbying efforts to change the law. That wasn't possible with radio and satellite television, which were receive only. Where you could watch or listen to anything you wanted and explore freely, without ever having to worry about the thought police breaking your door down, should you happen to stumble over something deemed "inappropriate" by them. The difference between that and the Internet is stark and highlights the sheer madness and insanity of what the Internet has made possible.
The Internet became like the telescreen in George Orwell's 1984 novel. You can never be sure if it's watching you or not.
In the past, this was the stuff of nightmares, but it's here for real now in the 21st Century, because of widespread Internet usage in society.
And your children are at risk from it, from sexting, from a teenage son coming across this material and viewing it, maybe even intentionally. Perhaps the risk of your children being prosecuted for breaking these laws is greater than the risk of them being physically abused by a pedophile?

- 1827163 3y agoWe should be scrutinizing these aforementioned pressure groups and if any of their activities are unlawful in any way, they should be reported to the authorities. Many here in the UK are registered charities. It is about time we get together and put a stop to this, using all possible avenues within the law.
