Comment Re:Protecting Children Is Just An Excuse (Score 1) 628
The main problem here is not having in sight the real problem with internet contents and kids, the point is not to filter the Internet, what you need to do, is to have care of your children in order to be with them when they enter the internet instead of putting them in front of TV or in front of computer and hoping that they will only reach "safe" sites... once again, this is only an excuse to take over the internet, filter it and convert something useful in a tv-like medium, only receiving "approved" content from media corporations instead of having a live ecosystem of information.
The sad thing here, is that many politicians that try to rule this kind of things, are not familiarized in using internet, nor using technology, and when they think, or they are convinced (either by arguments, or arguments backed by cash) that something is wrong, the only answer is to filter it, and avoid anyone else in the world to reach that information.
As there is still no one global thinking which is really, creating something rich to learn new things, to collaborate, to ideate and with final objective, improve as society, it is not possible at all to "impose" one kind of filterting for all the world, what you could think is not acceptable there, could be an ancient tradition elsewhere and viceversa... so... let's keep parents doing their job: educate children, instead of having politicians trying to "cap" the world to make it fitting into their short-mind...
