My point was more general than about a specific blocking methodology: that people who were defending specific blocks all pointed out how they would be targeted, but the social acceptance of one seems to encourage people to try for more.
- DanBC 13y agoBut there have always been calls to block those three things. Sinn Fein members used to have their voices dubbed in news broadcasts because of UK law and that was in the 1980s. Material useful for terrorism has been illegal for some time. This article talks about not just keeping those videos illegal but blocking them from entering the country. That's not a new thing. The UK has been preventing plenty of material from entering the country if they can. The UK has censored some forms of pornography for many years, and people importing magazines would have had them removed. This "slippery slope" argument fails not because there isn't a slippery slope, but because we're so far down it already and have been for years.
