Australia is shifting its plan to censor the internet.

HAHAJK.COM reports:
In an official release yesterday, the Australian government said it has finally backed down on its plan for a controversial mandatory internet filter, and will instead rely on major service providers to block ''the worst of the worst'' child abuse sites.

    The Internet is supposed to belong to the people, as a free and open forum for the unfettered exchange of ideas, information, and entertainment. Keep the government's filthy paws off of it.

    As an Australian, that idea was rubbish and I'm glad they finally backed down.

    The only types of pornography that should be banned is non-consensual and child pornography. The vast majority of speech, however, should be protected. Regardless, I'm not very comfortable with the idea of the government filtering the internet.

    Child and snuff pornography should be banned. Other than that, it's up to parents to monitor their children and adults to monitor themselves. If you have a scatalogical fetish and liked "Two Girls and a Cup", by all means enjoy yourself. You won't be bumping into me on those sites, though.

    An alternative would be rather than restricting sites is to have some kind of "Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval."

    Porn sites could be required to have XXX in their domain name or extension making sorting those as off limits as a tool for parents.

    If you clamp down it will only find other ways to boil up to the surface.

    However, I am strongly against any kind of sex with minors by an adult. There is a power differential that is being abused. The larger truth seems to be that the more you go to war with drugs, sex and other issues the more power it gets. Harm reduction means thinking outside of the "ideal box" and working more in the reality zone.

    Censorship of any kind, anywhere, is an erosion of liberty. Never volunteer to give away more of your rights. They steal our rights away fast enough as it is.

    Every Nation in the World has the right , in my opinion to run their internet the way they think is best for their People, but for the United States , the only way is the uncensored, unhindered , unfiltered way.

    No, it's a slippery slope. Parents need to take some responsibility and monitor their kids' access or set up a whitelist if they're time-poor or just plain lazy.

    Its not about where it stops, its about where it begins. Where it begins is where it ends. You limit one part of the internet and the liberalism will infect it just like it has infected America's freedom of religion and right to bear arms. Its like entirely removing a biological defense mechanism of the human body, like the skin, or white blood cells -- we all know, once they are gone, it is a ticking clock.

    Then they should take care to pay attention to parental controls on their child's PC and watching them instead of using the damn thing as a babysitter.

    Parental control is way too easy to hack. I know there is the concern about when the sensorship going to stop. However, some things are not appropriate. The net is filled with it. How far are people going to go with their abuse? Freedom of speech is the freedom to speak in the appropriate time and forum. It doesn't give people the right to be offensive. At any rate, if the government has to get involved it's out of hand.

    Ok, put that 100,000 dollars a year where your mouth is.
    Tell us how we've been hoodwinked.
    Lets say i have a job making 45,000 a year. Lets say my house is paid for and everyone in my family has a job. Lets say that one of my daughters is gay and another one has a boyfriend, has sex with her boyfriend but uses birth control.
    Now you tell me how is was fooled. Tell me how ANYTHING the republicans said during this
    Election cycle should have resonated positively for me.
    I'll let you know that ive asked this question numerous time in the last year. And although these people started my questions of them by being a loudmouth and then after the read my questions, they disappeared from the conversation.
    Dont be like them. Feed us some facts to back your words.

    What $100,000 a year?

    All the things you mentioned should not be a concern of the Federal Goverment
    What Obaman has given us is....................

    47,000,000 on food stamps, 8% unemployment.Taxes are not going to save the economy but private investment will. Now everybody is waiting on how the Oman is going to turn the economy around. If he has any brains he will and probably will extend the bush tax cuts. If he isn't a down right commie he will be like Clintons second term a closet Republican.Not try to take over industry like Hitler, Stalin,Chevis,Castro, and dozens of other failed socialist. commie
