“Not content with simply limiting itself to blocking despicable child sex abuse, a move three major ISPs in the US also agreed to today, the French government feels it necessary to go a radical step further and decide for its citizens whether or not they can view content it considers inappropriately racist and or linked to terrorism.
In fact, worse still is that any site is now game for a French blockade, as Sarkozy’s government is inviting people to send in huge long lists of sites which offend their delicate sensibilities. The French government, which will purportedly be able to receive complaints from Internet users in real time, will be able to add sites to a so called ‘black list’, which it will then force national ISPs to block.” Read more from theinquirer.net.
-Among my five prediction for 2008, was “the threat of child predators will be leveraged as an excuse to regulate the internet, or internet access.” Fascism is being carried to us with (arguably) good intentions and great slogans. I wonder if skaskiw.com might be considered linked to terrorism, since I advocate something other than obliteration of Islamic nations and peoples, since I sometimes say “Palestinian” without saying “terrorist,” since I refuse to hate or fear anybody, since I believe in liberty, in the Constitution.
