Comment Well, where's the line? And who draws it? (Score 1) 186

Question is, where do you draw this line?

For example, let's say I'm anti-guns. Therefore, sites that list information on how to purchase guns are, in my view, sites that need to be censored, so that my children cannot see them.

However, to a member of the NRA, that site is probably bookmarked, and would likely (and rightly) get very upset that it was censored by censor-ware.

EVERYONE on the face of this planet is going to have their own viewpoint on what is censorable material and what isn't. What gives the people who created the software the right to determine what should be filtered out and what shouldn't?
