France Votes Tuesday On Net Censorship

Posted by timothy on from the to-go-with-ebay-censorship dept.

angry tapir writes "French lawmakers will vote next Tuesday on a proposal to filter Internet traffic. Part of a new security bill, the measure is intended to catch child pornographers. However, once the filtering system is in place it will allow the government to censor other material too. Slashdot has previously discussed Australia's proposed ISP-level filter."

  1. I don't support pedoes, but... by ElusiveJoe · · Score: 1, Troll

    Homosexuals aren't something new. They have existed in humanity for at least as long as recorded history. Putting our fingers in our ears and going lalalala will do nothing to protect our children or get homosexuals the treatment that will enable them to participate in our society.

    I would like to see the creation of programs where homosexuals can go in and receive counseling without getting a life long stigma. Perhaps we could create colony towns (or more like prisons) out in the middle of nowhere so they can live their lives without temptation. We could do more research on the brains of homosexuals and develop drugs to re-orientate homosexuals to a more healthy sex, preferably in a delivery mechanism like the Norplant birth control so the homosexual just needs to get it replaced every few years.

    I just wanted to note the fruitlessness and the cruelty of your idea. Oh, I forgot, homosexuals are protected by law now.
