Tough web protection down under
A battle is emerging in Australia where the government wants “internet service providers to filter content to ensure households and schools do not receive inappropriate material” while civil libertarians “have condemned the plan as unnecessary, and say it will erode the freedom of the internet.”
As the main thrust of the governments argument is to protect children from violence and porn it is very hard to argue against it without sounding like you don’t care. On the other hand though once governments start determining what is right and wrong for us before we even make our own choices that seems equally as wrong.
Personally I think it is the responsibility of the parents to monitor and control what the children watch and have access to. Sure it is tough but that is what parenting is all about!
