Internet filtering: You can't opt-out (5 Viewers)

[Nebuchanezzar]

I don't get it. How does me viewing "blah" content harm society, or how does society benefit from me not viewing "blah" content? I'm pretty sure society will be no better or worse as a result of me viewing some porn, or anything else this filter is supposed to block.

To Rudd: Fuck off mate. How dare you presume to tell me what I can and can't look at. Do you really think you know better than everyone? Do you really think that what I look at will result in some negative change in the outcome of the universe, this country or your life? I realise censorship already exists, but the existence of one open medium is enough to keep me happy. To bring down censorship on that one open medium too though, again I say: fuck off.

To all you downies that keep defending this policy as a method to reduce the distribution of child porn: Do you honestly think pedos browse www.kiddyporn.com or something to get their material? This measure will not stop child porn being distributed in the slightest. Even supposing it does, even if worked perfectly, pedos aren't going to give up on their sexual urges any more than I am going to give up on my sexual urges because Ruddfucker blocks redtube, or a gay person will give up on their sexual urges because gay porn is blocked, or a dying patient will lose interest in dying with some dignity because euthanasia material is blocked, or a fundy Christian will lose interest in "the abortion debate" because abortion material is blocked. And honestly, I'd rather pedos be getting off to some pictures at home than having to "develop their own material", so to speak. We can't do anything about the existence of pedos, but we can sure as hell make a difference in how they get off.

good post

Freedom is good to the point of harming society. That is the rasonale behind laws, protecting society. Internet censoring too will benefit society. It will only censor those breaking laws.

If however, our oppostion are against actions that are currently illegal, i.e. ethuanasia, abortion etc..., then the rigthous thing would not be opposing censorship, but rather opposing the legislation that makes this illegal.

Fucking hell I hate having to spell this shit out to people.

"Freedom is good up until a point" sounds like a slogan for slavery to be honest.

I buy Thatcher's call that there's no such thing as society, tbh.

wrong.... it also filters good sites by accident

 

[SnowFox]

It censored Dentist's.

I knew they were evil bastards.

I was thinking about what sites to report once the filter is operation. An obvious choice is to post (or find) a thread about drug taking, or how to suicide, and report BOS. Redtube (et cetera) are all fair game and so will be 4chan.

Will report bad pages on wikipedia, also.

 

[Phoenix Fury]

I expect all the chans would be first on their list.

 

[badquinton304]

They may not censor the chans, because of potential mass /i/, especially from 4chan and somewhat from 7chan.

 

[Sprangler]

They are not worried about any "invasion", especially from any of the chan boards, that's retarded.

 

[S.H.O.D.A.N.]

Who the fuck quotes Ann Coulter in their sig and expects to be taken seriously?

Still, you're right - the chanfags have over-inflated views of their importance.

 

[Planck]

They don't even know what 4chan is tbh

they think it's a trading partner

 

[philphie]

wait, so will it be an independent body that is in control of the filter or is it a government agency?

 

[Planck]

hahahhahha the government which is slightly better

because the QUANGOS ARE CUNTS

Most of the fags that are so keen to censor the internet know little about how the internet works, or the content they would be censoring. If they bothered to learn some basic facts about the internet, they would probably realise how futile the whole plan is.

In fact, Chairman Rudd is so eager to condemn things as being morally reprehensible that he doesn't even bother to waste time viewing them first.

I can't wait until Rudd is killed

Sedition. Terrorism. Traitor.

Off to prison with you. We might give you a trial in 7 years. If we feel like it.

This is now a matter of NATIONAL SECURITY!

I'm wondering if they'll filter erowid/bluelight et cetera...

If you have to think whether they'll filter it, they will.

 

[badquinton304]

I think they will censor all shock websites for sure.
