Dan: ======================================= Absolutely NO - Governments everywhere want to control the Internet because they do not like citizens having access to something that they, Govts., do not control. And especially Govts. do not like their citizens having a cheap means of communication that is difficult to monitor - so are attempting to force ISPs to keep ever more comprehensive records. So beware, there is an insidious movement towards internet control; at first it is based on seemingly reasonable reasons - protect children, reduce porn.,reduce crime, protect copyrights - all "reasonable" aims - but wait after this comes ever more heavy control - like e.g. iPhones with no wifi ? - now where do we see this ? Don't start down this path - it is the salami slice technique - give up a little bit control at first, then another, and another --- Hilter/Musollini/Stalin would be giggling.. Sad that it has sone this way. The former Australian federal government had a package available for parents to download for free which could be enabled by parents to limit access - this I felt was ideal as it allowed the parent the right to control what was/was not viewed or accessed.. but that has been removed in favour of total control across the board for all the new proposals would take censorship beyond any country in the world, making China look downright libertarian in comparison Maybe 1984 is still yet to arrive :(
