Comments on: Cable giants bullied into new child porn censorship deal

Deal would give the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children total power to force takedowns.

@ SWalk: your reference to an animated movie to describe something impractical is funny and ironic, because if I recall correctly; in that movie the sky did in fact fall. (foreshadowing?) Ha.

On a serious note now:

@XiroMisho: *see CaptainMetal's post* ....Also XiroMisho...

"they aren't policing your PC, they aren't invading your privacy." Yes, yes they would be "policing" our PC, and invading privacy. That's exactly what it would be doing on everyone's computer via Internet Service Provider. People have the right to set up their own firewalls, and block "CP" crap. (which is irrelevant, because either way as CaptainMetal has said, this will not end until the issue is dealt with directly through the people making the stuff.) I believe in Network neutrality, and that I have the option and choice what to look, and not look at. Just because someone (including me) believes in that, (which isn't grasped apparently by people looking at the small picture) does not make them a supporter of Child Pornography. This IS me voicing my opinion (not in a proactive way) but in a way none the less. My opinion is: Network neutrality will be infringed on, and privacy as well. This new thing the NCMEC is trying won't solve the issue, because believe it or not if it is still there to be viewed on the net, it will be viewed and kids still will be getting raped or molested. So the precious NCMEC just suck at aiming, because they do indeed have the right mindset to end Child Pornography, which I believe needs to happen. They are just targeting the wrong source. Take down the host sites that are, well....hosting the stuff, because well aren't they the ones really committing the crime? Ignorantly calling people possible pedophiles is one thing, but calling people that based on the belief of preservation of right is another. By the way, I'm only 17, and that is my view.

This a blog for the paranoid Bush-haters in this country. No reasonable person would argue FOR child porn, or not at the least monitoring the actions of said pornographers. This is civil libertarians like this guy are in some ways more dangerous that he scum they are trying to justify.

P.S.

I can personally see that this is a touchy topic, and by today's life style I can't even look at a child or wave to one without being accused of something disgusting. Today's standards and morals are dropping. People see a grandpa sit his grandchild on his lap, and first thing that pops into everyone's mind is pedo!' Everything is changing and lately even I hate my generation. The school shootings, the ignorance, the "rebellious kids," the fads of people thinking drinking, drugs, and expensive clothing is cool. The wasteful tastes of generation X in general. America shall remain free though, as long as we strike down, or reform anything that infringes on it...


P.P.S.
**I love 80s' music! hahahahah**

Yeah, lets go with Pubmat's and let the pedophiles out so they can go feast on kids. I'm justifying American right, so that acquisition of "scum" includes you. Oh and i'm Pro-Brush, Prick

[pubmat]

Are you kidding mindset?? I NEVER advocated letting pedo's out to have their way with kids...what the heck are talking about? I suggest you re-read...I clearly stated that this blog is for the civil libertarian paranoids out there, and, that this blog is (in its own way) PRO kiddie porn, and AGAINST monitoring the pervs. Get it straight dude..I'm on your side.

[Mindset22]

This pressuring of the ISPs will lead to that though. Take away their disgusting "online material" and not pursue them any further than just the internet and what do you get? Pedophiles leaving their homes having a better chance abducting kids and not getting caught; rather than sitting at home confined. Oh believe me when I say they shouldn't have material to begin with, and it should be removed. But you take a dog's bone away and he's not on a leash and you have a roaming hungry dog. First HAVE action against them in the streets, then strike them via internet so the roaches have to come out of their nests. So the comment letting them roam free is what will happen, and what I'm talking about.

Remember, what's happening here is that private entities are being strong-armed into instituting censorship based on hysteria surrounding a definition of "child pornography" that includes media which does not involve children, but only sexually-mature young adults.

The issue is censorship, which is almost always a bad idea. "Think of the children!" is just a convenient way to get people to accept censorship.

i want all my images removed from the internet. i consider them kiddie porn and all should be removed by the fbi and this gestapo group. the commies really won

[joe23322]

GO NCMEC! This is awesome news, finally we are helping stop destroy the lives of people who are caught in the insanity of allowing that sexual evil onto the internet! This is a triumph for good and a stick-it-to-ya for those who mask evil as "freedom".
