Posted in: China slams U.S. criticism of Internet controls See in context

There's hardly any significant internet development in China. ... ...many of their people are blinded from new developments like Twitter and public streaming sites. In that case, it's more like in the dark ages. China just uses what other people have developed, after watering it down.

Internet inside China is not as undeveloped as you think. Quite the opposite. Check for example

Just because "porn" is the 4th most common search term among kids does not automatically mean they will get it. A properly-managed computer environment by parents or parental-control software should be treated like any other regular parenting protocol.

Why do you want to put such a burden on the parents? By same logic, do you think all laws limiting distribution of any kind of material anywhere (e.g. on the streets) should be banished, as it is up to parents to guard their children? I would prefer to live in a world where children can have some degree of freedom (don't need to be under 24/7 surveillance) without having to worry about things like execution videos or harcode porn that are currently only a couple of clicks away on the internet.

China's government is full of ****, they think they have the right to control their peoples thoughts and ideas.

American "freedom of speech"-idiots are not much better... Internet is just one facet of the society in general, so why should the normal rules/laws not apply there? If you distribute porn to children on the streets in the USA, you will probably end up in jail. If you do the same on the internet, it's ok?

Check e.g. this report: http://onlinefamilyinfo.norton.com/articles/kidsearches_2009.php

Among children that are 7 years or younger, "porn" is the 4th most common search term.

I root for China on this one. Hopefully at least some European countries will follow suit sooner or later. Italy already seems to be doing something:

Yes, Rickyso you are right. Think of a world over-run by communism and dictatorships... what paradise.

One has to be rather simple-minded to think that the only options are the extremeties of a US-style "everything goes"-idiocy or totalitarian "nothing goes"-oppression.
