you can opt out....grow a set, and simply option out of it, the filter sets up as the default. maybe parents don't want 9 year olds looking at German porn
Maybe I donm't want your 9 year olds on my german porn site? How about you look after your 9 year old brats who are making adults pay for YOUR inability to control them?
How about you be a parent and sto pmaking the rest of an entire continent be a defacto parent for you?
How about you filter your own internet? That's opt IN. How about you stop having kids if you can't be arsed looking after them.
How about we let the government come along and put locks on your front door that you can ask them nicely to remove. You don't want your 9 year olds running out into oncoming traffic do you? Locks on the door, from the outside, that you can ask nicely to remove. But then, why would you want to remove those locks? Youw ant your 9 year olds on the street at midnight?
Some sort of problem in your house, you want your kids playing on busy roads... you need locks on the door.
blah blah blah... In a world without chains, everyone is a slave owner...

However, IF they should enforce such a thing they should start with the television! Young children, still in their prams, are subjected to a never ending stream of swearing, screaming, fighting, violence, and sex, and thats just the soaps!
Start with the TV. No sex or violence until after 10pm. Then maybe we might be able to raise kids who's minds havent been conditioned to seek out violence and sex.
I take it you don't have kids. Kids in prams are usually in bed by 7.30!
This is optional! It is a good idea for parents with kids! Opt out - it is an option!
Pedit on 5/9/2013 by pheonix358 because: (no reason given)
Shouldn't it be the otherway around? Those who want to be filtered should choose to opt-in!
Opt out - it is an option!

I was watching him answer this question on the ABC news this evening and it appears he's done a backflip. ( shock - horror )
He is suggesting some confusion between "opt in" and "opt out".
His current position is one of "opt in" and he goes as far as saying it would be impossible to censor the internet as the previous govt. explored this and abandoned the idea due to its 'impossibility' !
Ya, smoke, mirrors and loads of bullhockey all around ...
Fair enough, I'd assumed it was the same as is happening in the uk, where we'd have to go online and register as someone who wants to view porn!

If you read the thread it seems that is what is intended, ie, Opt in rather than opt out.
It seems many do not like a bit of simple responsibility to go with those rights.
It is not hard, man!

I'm done with the clowns that make up both major parties. I'm voting Pirate Party and Julian Assange, not because I think they'll win but because they are the best of the choices given to me.

This is what happens when an election is going to be walkover. This is the danger of elections where one wing of the bird-of-prey knows they are going to win. These kinds of NWO things get sliped in.
