Freedom?
In today's world of infinite information access, who should have the right to decide what is appropriate for children to view? What should be considered an appropriate age to be able to view censored content? Personally, I think it is another way that the Government is trying to take on the Paternal role. There are devices out there, Internet Nanny, Watchdog, etc. that allow parents, who should be thte ones deciding what their children can and can't view, what to censor from their children. Why does the Government think that it has the authority or even responsibility to filter out content on a seemingly endless rresource of knowledge? Perhaps I may be sounding a little "conspiracy theory" but come on, not only does the Government decide what content you can and can't view, they can also track where you have been on the internet. Definately not their job. If the Government wants to help, they should develop programs such as Watchdog and Nanny to be free to the public so that PARENTS can prevent offensive content from being viewed by THEIR children.
