Bloody hell, it seems some people are just unnecesarilly bat-stuff paranoid about their government.
By the way, you're living in a democratic country. You get to vote (or atleast your parents probably do).
If you don't like things, make a political stand. It's not impossible for you to get involved in politics.
And by the way, I don't mean gathering guns to make a civil uprising or something stupid. That's not a reason to keep guns.
These are laws being introduced in other countries.
How many people that upset here are actually from Canada or the UK or are able to vote in those countries?
These are ideas and laws being introduced by the representatives of people who voted them in.
You can't stand there and tell them they aren't allowed to do it when they're working on other peoples behalf.
Just because you're an over-entitled teenager, with no ability to vote, who touches their richard too much, doesn't mean that your opinion is at all wanted on the matter.
None of you are parents, none of you have young children who are readily at access to such graphic material.
Don't go telling me it's easy to stop people getting on research sites as a parent.
How many of them are out there that you would never know about?
Do you really think a child is going to turn away every time they see a page asking if they're 18?
These sorts of things are just another safety feature for parents to safely bring up their children.
Bisjac is 100% correct. There is no difference here between a minor being refused to purchase a researchographic film from a video shop, or a research-mag from a newsagents, or alcohol or tobacco from shops.
It's not a censor since it's not enforced at all. You have full access to use it or not. It is up to the billpayer to decide if they're going to let their ISP filter research or not. It is not up to the government.
Maybe once you've grown up a bit, you can feel comfortable asking your parents to contact your ISP.
Or when you move out you can watch all the research you want.
For the meantime, just shut up and calm down. Especially if it doesn't even affect you. You're just raging over something for the sake of it. Just because it's seemingly popular to hate everything governments do and believe ever elected government member is out to get you.
