Re: Let it die I agree. The government has no business telling people what they can and can't see online. I'd have no problem with a requirement that the operator offer filtering to those who ask for it, but I don't like mandated filtering one bit.
And for those who say that the government has a right to ask for mandated filtering in exchange for the right to use the spectrum, which is a public resource, it isn't a great stretch for the federal or local governments to demand the same concessions to allow companies to use public rights-of-way to build wired networks. Once you let the censorship genie out of the bottle, it'll be almost impossible to get it back in. |
