Something even an ultra-conservative politician can't stomache.

Asher Moses' article of 12 Dec says that even South Australian Liberal Senator Cory Bernardi, known for his pro-censorship stance, thinks this is a bad idea. Senator Bernardi has personal experience of filtered internet: "Already we have a filter on the internet for all parliament house computers. It blocks some political sites, alternative lifestyle sites and other sites that, while not to my personal taste, are hardly grounds for censorship."

Unlike TV, which is a push media, the internet is a pull media. It rarely gives what wasn't looked for. So, if you don't want your kids to look at porn, supervise them so they don't search for it.
