Censorship V Child pornography. The reality is that Censorship will cause much greater harm than the Internet transfer of Child pornorgraphy, even if it were possible to prevent. The experts, if you would listen to them, keep telling you that no amount of filtering will prevent the transfer of content, yet damage legitimate use of the internet.. Child pornography will be defeated by an attack on the circmstances in which it flourishes, not by this silly attempt to deprive ordinary Australians of a functioning, censorship-free internet. Or is the kind of civil society Mr Conroy would like to see in Australia the kind they have in China where censorship is a way of life at every level?
