This is an insult to all, removal of freedom of speech and removal of freedom of information. As adults we are well equipped to make choices, we don't need a nanny government to dictate to us and purport to protect us. We have the means to protect our children if and where we deem fit. The costs of this project are also ridiculous, and the implementation virtually impossible without potential severe impact on business who genuinely uses the internet for business purposes. I've seen sites with what I'd consider porn, get away with license as being artistic, on the flip side, why would you want to limit a concerned parent from investigation of the symptoms of bullemia or anorexia if they felt it possibly applied to their family? Surely our medical system is bulging at the seams and well and trully insufficient when it comes to support of a concerned parent. This concept is expensive, ill conceived and in a time when communication is being purported to be paramount, you are looking to restrict such communication? Our broadband internet is still very expensive and still a luxury to pay for, so it would be naive to think that further regulatory restrictions would not result in higher costs. Whilst I am against pornography, illegal doings and paedolphilia, I do not believe this is in the best interest of the public nor business, and will negatively impact all, depriving them of very viable resources and limiting the interchange of information via cost and speed. I think political correctness has gone beserk.
