Well what about legalised drugs? You realise the only reason drugs like heroin, cocaine and weed are illegal is because the government haven't found a way of justifying making money from it yet. Tobacco and alcohol are just as harmful but they're legalised because the government can make a giant profit from it.
What worries me is how far will this go?
Also...
"i would understand censoring websites which were a threat to the state (e.g. advocating domestic terrorism), that doesn't seem to be the issue here"
i agree with what you're saying^
and this to...
"to put filters on the world so that parents don't have to broach nasty subjects like sex, drugs and violence. it's just a matter of time before "parenting" has **** all to do with raising your children."
extremely good point^
