Here we go – back to the dark ages of the 50’s when government decided what we could and could not see, read and hear. Whose values are they anyway? Mainly right wing religious fanatics who believe in creationism and think that being gay is a “life style choice”. The main point is, what does internet filtering do for the digital economy – precisely nothing or is it the government’s need to appease those who think the internet is more evil than Lolita and D.H. Lawrence?
The internet is not just a place to make money. If we have high regard for the many non commercial aspects of the internet then the digital revolution is paramount. By its very nature the internet will create commercial opportunities and will grow in ways we are unable to imagine now.
What we must do is lay down the infrastructure so that we are able to fully utilise the potential the internet has to offer. And if along the way someone wants to download porn then so be it.
