Thats not what i said. I personally don't like Julian Assange or what he is doing but i support freedom on the internet. So even though you post objectionable material online that i am opposed to i support the right to do that. If that makes sense.Quote:

i think its sad that where i live all too often the "parenting" is handed over to government and schools things that should be taught by loving parents are brushed over in crowded class rooms or passed off as unimportant.
and while i agree that its not the governments place to teach these things, that it shouldnt be up to the school system to cover. that means that the parents need to step up and take responsibility for the lives they say they are willing to support.
;) see it wasnt a de-rail post
It's totally off the rails, thanks very much!
Anyway, I really don't know if any authority has the knowledge to fully restrict the internet anymore. A recent demonstration I saw tested 3 teenage boys against the proposed filter here in Australia and it took all of them less than 4 seconds to access pr0n via the use of proxy servers, private networks and such.
Also, if you refer to this recent post of mine, you can see that anyone with a reasonable working knowledge of computers and Linux programming could create their own servers quite cheaply from readilly available game consoles. Once you have servers, all you need is a connection point and electricity and you are running your own IP. So the restrictions would only limit those who are ignorant of the alternatives which is not the groups that the governments are trying to target anyway. It is moreso the general public who are merely seeking information and have no criminal intent at all.
You dont even need a linux os. All you have to do is set static ip on your router and spoof it. So it says you are in another country or state. Thats one way people get pass Online Gambling laws. There will always be ways to get around internet restrictions how ever the vast majority of people do not have the knowledge to do it.
The media has been allowed to publish whatever they get their hands on without fear of prosecution since forever. And that is good, and this is no different. I can't speak about other governments, but that is how it should be in AMERICA, the government should instead focus on improving its own security.
No, the media is censored. It does not publish whater it wants to. It faces censorship from the government just like TV and radio.
The internet is a medium for communication and information. Just like TV, Radio, and printed material. All of which have restrictions. The internet should not be anarchy. It needs rules and censorship just like anything else.
The internet is like a open forum radio show. Anyone can talk at anytime. But the radio show needs to be monitored and censored so it does not get filled with advertisers 24x7, so terriorist groups do not use it to send secret messages, so people do not use it to cause problems.
Then this'll be one.Quote:
