Story: Parliament to discuss child porn regulations

as much as i agree that child pornography should be blocked by all ISP's, the problem i forsee is that where does this stop?

especially seeing teh alst persons response, who is to decide what we are and are not allowed to look at on the internet?

yes if it against the law like child pornography then of course steps should be, as they are being, taken to stop the access to this site, but be weary, where will it stop? i access normal porn or what i would describe as normal porn on my computer, and who are you or anyone else for that matter to tell me or anyone else that, that is right or wrong? as i said before i am in agreement about the child porn topic, but monitoring which websites everyone visits? blocking content that some burocrat or complaint ridden member of society deems un suitable for our viewing? what next? any websate that complains about the government is blocked? any website that expresses personal oppinion is blocked?..

I fear that if the technology is implimented as it is, there can be no end to what other people decide should and should not be permitted by internet users.

people also need to remember (in reference to the child porn area) the internet is a global reference, this is not just a medium for those of us in the USA and UK, some other countries have no problem with child pronography and while i maintain that yes i beleive it should be blocked, will we end up like the chinese? their internet is so filtered now that even mention of their government is blocked..

in my opinion they should be targetting the people who are publishing it illegally, not the people who are viewing it, as i have said i do think it shouldnt be viewed but who are we, me or anyone, to inflict our views on others?

i dont particularly like a lot of types of porn but it is none of my, nor anyone elses business to inflict my views on others.
