No party wants to be accused for arbitrary censorship ither like old East European or Arab governments either. Depends how it is phrased.
Quote:Those of us who have children are already concerned explicit information is already too available in the public domain and that domain is almost un-policeable so the 900's have no chance.
There is a world of difference between internet sites in Thailand and the 900s. The 900s have measures to protect children, and could improve it.
Ofcom recently slapped ITV (I think) because they showed an old Agatha Christie film, Death on the Nile, with a suicide scene in the afternoon. The film is PG and has been repeatedly shown before. Ofcom say the offending scene must be cut if shown when children might watch.
For what its worth, the ISPs wanted to ban Pirate Bay but wanted the legal figleaf of a court order to protect them in case customers or Pirate Bay sued them.
Most complaints come from a handful of people with an agenda who deliberately seek out explicit content. The general public do not want their favourite content censored.
