New Zealand Looks at Internet Censorship

David writes "The New Zealand Government 'Select Committee', upon reviewing censorship law, has issued a report which among other things, recommends that ISPs face compulsory licensing "in order to control their behaviour", the forcing of a code of conduct upon ISPs, and recommends the implementation of an internet filtration programme not dissimilar from that of Australia's (although it is hazy on the details of what this would mean). They're starting to become really worried about the dangers of the internet."

    I'm sure all the beasiality sites with people fucking sheep will glide right on through that filter.

    Internet censorship SUCKS. The Internet is the last outpost of freedom, where individuals can get whatever information they want, share ideas, and basically be themselves. Any government that wants to take that away is attempting to become BIG BROTHER.
