| 797175 | 2009-08-03 10:32:00 | Perhaps they could let Nortons do the blocking - it would be expensive enough to satisfy the gov't crusaders, it would be slow enough to avoid any harm, and it wouldn't catch squat, so no innocents would be harmed in making this typical Gummint blunder onto a slippery slope. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 797176 | 2009-08-03 18:27:00 | Might, might, might.... How about complaining about them when they happen, instead of assuming all this. I think it's a good idea blocking evil kiddie porn sites. Why are you so upset about it? Because then it will be far too late. This is not so much about child porn as it is about censorship. And once it starts do you think it will end with just kiddie porn? It would be very naive to think so. |

So true and to quote from the poem by Pastor Martin Niemöller In Germany they first came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me — and by that time no one was left to speak up. |

| 797178 | 2009-08-04 03:34:00 | Yep agreed, it will be too late. Like the Humans rights act, once its in you cant get rid of it. I blame those m(*&^%$#$s that flew those planes into those buildings. The world hasnt been the same since. It has given govts the power to do anything. I bet Bin Laden would have thought twice if he could see the aftermath now |

| 797181 | 2009-08-04 04:14:00 | How exactly do they block sites that hardly ever come up, like others on here I have never come across Child porn? | Cicero (40) | ||
| 797182 | 2009-08-04 08:55:00 | How exactly do they block sites that hardly ever come up, like others on here I have never come across Child porn? It doesn't work like that, it blocks access at an ISP-level. So if someone goes to the address, intentionally or otherwise, they're blocked. Don't really know how else to explain it |

| 797183 | 2009-08-04 09:43:00 | Hmmmm. Censorship. I am of an age where I remember Patricia Bartlett. en.wikipedia.org I do not agree with child porn by the way. My point here is that if the censors have to watch all this stuff and classify it to protect the rest of us from being corrupted then why are the censors not being corrupted by watching? |
