Pennsylvania Refuses to Disclose Banned Website List

Posted by michael on from the librorum-prohibitorum dept.

koehn writes "In an interesting turn of events, the Attorney General of Pennsylvania has ordered all PA ISPs to block sites that have child porn. If that's not bad enough, they won't tell you which sites those are because - so the excuse goes - that could be construed as 'disseminating pornography.' So much for public review, huh?" See the previous story.

    "If that's not bad enough, they won't tell you which sites those are because..."

    Seriously, I don't see why anyone would want to "review" the list before the gov. blocks the sites.
    Any site that makes it onto that list is going to be really dodgy whether or not everyone agrees that it really is child porn.

    Sometimes this "freedom of speech/anti-cencorship/anti-NSA/anti-big brother etc." stuff gets taken a little too far.

    A little morsel of life advice: YOU REALLY SHOULDN'T BE LOOKING AT CHILD PORNOGRAPHY. IF YOU DO, YOU ARE A TWISTED FUCK!

    And also: IF YOU LIKE LOOKING AT 18-YEAR OLDS THAT
    ARE PURPOSELY MADE TO LOOK LIKE CHILDREN, THEN YOU ARE ALSO A SICK FUCK!

    So who gives a shit if the PA government has decided to block a number of child porn sites without asking us? I'm sure each one of them deserves it.
