Thousands Marched Against Censorship

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the my-dogs-are-barking dept.

funfail writes "Thousands of Turkish demonstrators poured into central Istanbul yesterday to protest against the government's Internet censorship. New regulations from Turkey's Internet Technologies and Communications Authority set to come into effect on Aug. 22 will require Internet service providers to offer a choice of four filtering options: family, child, domestic or standard. Many websites are expected to be blocked as a result of the filtering measures."

    Censorship is okay as long as you CHOOSE to have your web censored. For example I like the idea of a "child" filter or "parent" filter to screen-out the nasty stuff.

    However I also want to keep the current option as well (no filtering - show me everything).
