New Zealand Looks at Internet Censorship

Posted by michael on from the hobbit-porn dept.

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."

    before i start, i am NOT A TROLL, read all of what i say before you judge me.

    I welcome censorship. what used to be the 'underground' movement in warez etc has been dragged up by the dickheads who made napster. everyman and his dog now pirates everything.
    censorship will force everything back underground, so only those who are actualy know there shit can get it. like it should be.
