Everyone should be able to decide what do they want to see/say.

edit: is there any point in filtering paedophile sites? if they found them, they'll probably catch the guys behind them anyway, i find it kinda silly "hey let's block the site and do nothing about it :zippy:"
totally agree,  its good for kids to keep them out of naughty sites but thats all

That's the bigges problem in such a policy: there will be one or a couple of guys deciding what you can or cant see, they'll soon start making stupid decisions and everyone will complain but nothing will be done about it :p

How can Australian police do anything about the child porn website when they are hosted in different countries?

Thats why i won't support the filer, because they havent told us who decides what material is appropriate and which is not.

Also the current government might have good intentions, but a future government might abuse it.

it will start like that, then they will be like "oh that BDSM stuff is pretty bad, lets block that...." then slippery slope time
