Interesting post - thank you!
June 27, 2009 - 4:53pmWhile I agree that children have to be protected from pornography and other websites suitable only for adults, I've no doubt that this is also blanket censorship masquerading as "protecting the kids". Many countries do this, denying not only access to valuable health and human rights information - but to information they want for any purpose - "valuable" or not.
This brings out the ugly in me! I cannot stand censorship!

I agree with you 100% Susan.
This most recently has come to light in Iran with the turmoil there. The mobile phone SMS texting system was shut down for a while there also to prevent people connecting.
The truth never fears the light of day - only the darkness.
June 28, 2009 - 8:09amWhat a story. This is why I love the freedom of the United States. Censorship is control. Sex sells and if you visit China, there are about a million so called ‘massage parlor’ that you can purchase sex and they are not allowed to view sex online? This is a bit strange. I think viewing sex and topics online is safer sex than purchasing it at a ‘massage parlor’. Maybe that’s the next step in their attempt to control their country.
