Hah.
People who don't understand just how deep the depths of the internet go should not be allowed to pass legislation on it

Of course, you can just turn the filters off, but it's still hilarious that they're actually trying.
Silly Britcigarettes, I can't hear you over my FREEDOM.

Google has done this for about a year now.
However, you cant turn the filters off.

Not a big surprise.
Still I wonder, has anyone ever actually used a rape video site to *gasp* provide evidence in a criminal trial?

Haha, the internet is so deep; this is the equivalent of parliament proposing laws on blocking starlight.

It's for blocking research for kids who don't know how to internet. Like <12 year olds. Probably

[Bisjac]

so.... its not really blocked. anyone can just call the isp and have them flip the switch to turn research on.
whats the big deal. its not even technically censorship, nothing is being forced.

Some times when I google something like toaster there is always that stray piece of research.

I am 13 now but a few months ago I was 12 and I was able to set up vpns and proxy's easily. It's not rocket science.

It's forced if you're underage.

The funny thing is that this is because google keeps track of your previous searches and uses them to target you toward results that are "more relevant to your interests". You have googled research so many times that it is now showing up when you google seemingly innocent and unrelated subjects. Gg, harm.

The government shouldn't have control over the internet.
It's about the bigger issue here, the slippery slope of government censorship and moral priviledge.
