Re: Users can't complain "It is free, if you want to get your psp or porn fix I guess go elsewhere."
That's not the point. The point is that it's a government entity censoring a public network for whatever reason.
Duhhhhh. |

| A lawsuit on either side Well, it's illegal to broadcast indecent material over broadcast radio or tv bands. Part of the FCC's (a GOVERNMENT agency) job is to enforce these rules. Is it censorship? Yes. Is it in the public interest? Yes, because the content is accessible by kids.
Whereas there will be First Amendment suits against filtering, consider the alternative... a publicly-funded, universally available mechanism that can deliver illicit content to children... Censorship has a place, a very gray place with fuzzy borders. Freedom isn't free if there aren't checks in place to prevent one person's freedom (of having and transmitting legitmate porn) from inhibiting another's (a child's right to not be exposed to this material before he or she can handle it). |

| If a child is searching out porn, they're ready to handle it. Porn does not just magicly pop up on the screen. |

Porn pops up all the time on PC's that have gotten a virus. It also pops up if you mistype 1 letter of a domain name and hit 1 of these porn sites that sit on domain names similar to popular mainstream domain names. Are most people that get porn on their screen looking for it? Of course. But don't say porn doesn't show up for users who aren't looking for it.
