In reality this has nothing to do with child protection. It's about
having the legal capability to filter things. Child protection is just
the most convenient excuse and the one you can least object to.
The same
happened in Germany (the argument though was "[redacted]" rather than child
protection of looking at porn) - luckily the public outcry blocked the program
(for now).
In Denmark such a blacklist already exists. Let's look
at the steps:
- We block [redacted].
- We block sites that
could contain [redacted] (Pirate Bay...)
- We block sites that sell
drugs
- We block gambling sites
- "In 2012 Internet service
providers (ISPs) and copyright holders in Denmark agreed on a framework where
all ISPs will block access to copyright-infringing content if one of the
providers is ordered to do so by a court. The Danish Ministry of Culture plans
to work with ISPs and rights holder groups to "formalise" the agreement in a
"written Code of Conduct"."
- ...
The situation is very
simple: Once you filter something it is very easy to either openly or
secretly filter something more.

Keep the phrases: 'mission
creep' and 'increased scope' and other such in mind. This has nothing to do with
p0rn and everything to do with control at the thin edge of the wedge. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Actually, all that is needed is for pornography to be done in
such a way as to become, at least in part, political
speech... which IS protected... in the USA, at least (The USA
is odd that way).[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
