What is the better solution to the problem?

We don't like throttling. We hate the crappy RIAA lawsuits. We detest the possible ISP "piracy tax". Caps are evil.

So what IS the better solution?
The better solution might be to put more resources into tracking down the pedophiles while they use the open internet instead of forcing them to use encrypted transfers to get around the blocks.
It's actually somewhat smart of them to put resources into tracking P2P instead of blocking websites though, since most child porn freaks use P2P to trade their disgusting warez with eachother.

Oh yeah, I also love how this is now getting a Piracy spin to it. Way to take a serious issue like stopping child porn and pervert it for your own agenda, government bastards.

Re: Haha

The linked article makes no reference to child porn or porn of any kind. It merely states content "unsuitable for children". Maybe stealing isn't a suitable activity for children? Now who is perverting the issue here?

Yeah, but how exactly are the going to make the filter stop children from learning about being a politician, exactly?

I remember previous articles about the Aussie Cyber-Safety filtering program had various people saying people agianst it were in favor of child porn. Also the first link has a mention of Child Porn also being the rallying horn behind the call for deep packet inspection in the U.S.

I really don't care enough about your opinion to take 2 seconds to support my claims with more links, so think whatever you like.

It does reference child pron, just read this topic, I'm not going to reprint all that.

The issue of children is just the tip of the iceberg, centralized filtering has a lot more issues than you not doing a little research about the link it is commenting on. Not going off at you, it all just annoys me they think this will be the answer for the issues on the internet.
