Internet censorship has already been implemented in many countries across the globe. Saudi Arabia for instance, all pornographic sites are banned. China, searches are filtered; for instance you would not be able to run a search in China for “Tibet”; there will be no results. The government has control on what civilians can or can not see.

People will still easily be able to download pornographic material, it is virtually impossible to have complete control, through torrents and P2P sharing it will be hard to restrict porn. Phew

While that may be true X, I shouldn't have others control what I access on the internet. Once I have kids, I will control the flow of material in my house with the aid of home blocking types of technology.

I guess that's were the rub is. In this case you have a majority of people in this state who have or are pushing there government to block this kind of stuff in their state. In a democratic government if that's what the majority wants then more power to them. However there is a fine line between what government should be involved in and what they should not. We see that with baseball and steroid or the Terry Schivo case. Personally since part of what I do is help wrecked lives/families mostly steming from pornography I have yet to see anything positive ever to come from it. I could go off on a tanget of all the negative but I don't see the point.

Have a great day.

I can see mixed emotions on this, pros in regulation, there is a lot of smut/stupid things on the net. I dont think it can be a regulated entity or whatever it is because it is open space.
Anyone can put anything on the net. There are a lot of areas to sift through while trying to find any sources of truth.

There was an article in a mag maybe this month or recently on Porn, how it is bad for you. It was in either mens fitness, maxim, stuff, playboy, somehting.

If you look up porn, think of the time you waste browsing, checking out ladies, midgets, whatever you like.... That is wasted time....

If I didnt work at customer service, and be at a computer all day. I would not use the net nearly as much. It can be a wast of time all too often.

I agree that in the wrong hands, porn can be destructive.
