Oh thank you Matt, finally someone else said what I have been all along… There are a Majority of people without kids either not had then yet or they are grown up, but still everyone will be punished by this gross restriction “in the name of the children”.

And now the newest revelation, p2p is to be er ‘blocked’… finally some true colours, the RIAA and MPAA and other ‘big corporates’ are trying to stop filesharing via the Free Trade Agreement using this filter.

Then COnroy will sugar coat it to the mindless masses that will see this as a way to protect their kids. It is not their fault that they don’t understand they can use private filters as many people are computer illiterate and I have nothing against that, so the govt will prey on this and sell then a safety sheep skin covering an evil wolf beneath.

Not happy Jan.

“What about video games? You know we don’t have an R rating here, so loads of games are censored or banned. So the internet thing is no surpise really!”

Bloody kids are smarter than we think. Wonder if the internet has anything to do with it?

It’s relevant to those of us who are as protecting our kids (who quite likely are smarter than Senator Conroy and his advisers on these issues) is a core pillar of the arguments for the censorship proposed. This morning on Radio National, Senator Conroy once again drew the parallel between those opposing the moves and pedophiles.

This argument is demonstrably false and has no validity, yet appeals to the masses who aren’t educated in the issues. I find it personally offensive.

As for those without kids, I’m afraid you’re lumped in with the rest of us.

What about households without kids? Do we automatically get removed from the censorship list?

As a father of a young boy, I’m certainly interested in hearing more about your approache to your daughter’s internet access.
