Rejected petition Say NO to internet censorship

More details

The government should abandon all policy and attempts to enforce censorship or 'filtering of the internet. Specifically the current drive to force ISPs to implement an 'opt in' for pornography. Parents should learn to take responsibility for their children's welfare and not rely on government policy to do it for them.

Additionally, the government should consult IT professionals in order to understand that such censorship will be absolutely impossible to implement at all effectively and will be a sure fire way to increase broadband costs as ISPs struggle to adhere.
