Internet Censorship

[Randy]

Should governments censor material on the world wide web?

 

[Nebulous]

Yes on some things.. Like child porn and stuff like that.

 

[civilwarrocks]

No. Internet censorship is a fascist tactic by which to crush free speech. As for what Nebulous said, child porn is already illegal so of course it isn't online. That isn't censorship, it's law enforcement.

 

[Evil Eye]

That isn't censorship, it's law enforcement.

Not quite. Sites have to obey the laws of the country their server is in. The age of consent isn't universal...

 

[Peaceful]

No, people should be able to have the freedom to look at what they wish.

 

[Nebulous]

No, people should be able to have the freedom to look at what they wish.

I think some things should be forbidden.. Like child porn, people filming the rape of others, murder of others, and other explicit things.

 

[Peaceful]

It should be, but there is no way in stopping it, there's always a way to get around these filters, and the sick people who look and share that stuff will always be able to distribute it.

 

[Kasynlie]

You guys know about IC3 don't you?

 

[Temerit]

Nope.

 

[Scout]

I have to agree with Nebulous. I do not believe in censorship except for certain things that are (obviously) illegal... such as murder, rape, child pornography, etc.

censorship is up to the parents of the household to decide. I know there's a way to ban websites and stuff at home, my parents blocked chat rooms because my siblings are to little to understand what creepers are and what they want. they government has the right to enforce the law, not censor.
