Story: Parliament to discuss child porn regulations

Posted by: Anonymous (Friday 29 July 2005, 2:50 PM)

Those who publish the child pornography need to be targetted, as in dealt with legally. The emphasis has always been too far on punishing people viewing child porn, rather than the people provding the child porn.
It's like targeting drug abusers, but not the main drug dealers.
It's all back to front.

The concern here is naturally, how far will ISPs go?
What else will they block access too? Will an ISP block access for instance to companies, that they don't deal with, therefore guiding users only to their own, or affliated companies, or websites that have paid them?

It wouldn't be surprising if this is what is ISPs are doing already, would it? Providing links to affliated websites fine, but blocking unaffliated sites isn't.

Certainly, this blocking can be used to block anything that's deemed 'subversive', or against a partiular ideology, or government! It's not a real solution to the problem of child porn.

Arresting dealers in child porn is.
