Post; internet censorship


Has anyone here heard of the recent censorship put in place? only found out myself today. It's mostly to do with child pornography and newsgroups, but could it go further?

here's a few examples of cases that have happened so far...

<Yahoo turned information over to China

<Israel attempting to censor the internet

http://torrentfreak.com/danish-copyr...oposal-080517/ <and the danish joining the party, restricting access to certain websites.


What are your views on internet censorship? Good? bad? pick 'em up and throw 'em in here!

I'm dead set against it. First one thing, then another, then before you know it it's like cable TV; a basic package for so much money, premium websites for more.

if you go to youtube, there's something extremely similar to that theory on there... simply search "net neutrality" and it should come up.
