It should always be up to the individual to decide what they do on the internet, if its illegal sure let them take the consequences.

Lets all speed limit new cars 100Km/h, its exactly the same principle.

on the flip side I can nearly accept this to help stop child porn sites.

I could almost too, however its going to stop FA!.....

You have to laugh though, its like the government bringing out laws to stop the crims, however the crims dont listen to the law in the 1st place!

691464 2008-07-24 08:01:00 The people whinging about TelstraClear potentially stopping them from doing illegal activities is worrying. :horrified

It's like people complaining that now that cannibalism is illegal, they're worried that they won't be able to eat beef.

691465 2008-07-24 08:20:00 As I said in my thread about this (and something that others have mentioned in this thread): it's not what they've done, it's the precedent it has set. johcar (6283)
691466 2008-07-24 08:36:00 And I'll say it again...

People are panicking that an illegal activity has stopped, and that their other legal activities will be stopped. Till there's proof, why worry?

691467 2008-07-24 09:07:00 Trust the authorities, they know what they are doing and if you aren't doing anything wrong then what are you worried about?


I shouldn't have to write this but:

691468 2008-07-24 14:06:00 I think that it is good they are blocking it.It is pretty much illegal after all.

Maybe the ones crying about it are the ones that watch child xxx?lol
