Senators Call for Universal Internet Filtering
An Anonymous Coward writes "US senators today made a bipartisan call for the universal implementation of filtering and monitoring technologies on the Internet in order to protect children. Their statement came at the end of a Senate hearing in which civil liberties groups were not invited."
Really, if you just executed like a 1000 people a year that are caught making kiddy porn, that would put a pretty big damper on the whole thing. Just shoot them all. Go after criminals, not the rest of us.
This is my sig.
Anonymous Cowards don't get any moral points in my book. Secondly, the "moral voter" is a fantasy, a cute stereotyped image drawn up to make *potential* voters feel the warm-fuzzies. You did make me laugh, tho. I'd mod you +1 funny if I actually had some points.
And it should come as soon as possible, because the USA is loosing it's control over the Internet. Just make something like the ICRA mandatory by law and the filters that parents install can be much more usefull. Then parents can decide what their children can see and the internet still stay free.
If they would implement this now and put some pressure on other countries they could set a standard. You then can choose yourself what to see and what not.
