Anti-censorship legislation

March 22nd, 2005 · No Comments

FMQB informs about a bill introduced by a Vermont legislator to halt the possibility of censorship of programming on cable/satellite television and the Internet.

Want to see an uproar of the financial sense? People would start seriously limiting their cable television and other Internet usage if censorship went into effect across the board on those distribution channels - or at least try doing things on the down low. You see, technology always wins. If we’re going to make uncensored content illegal in the same sense that something as horrible as child pr0n is, then we might as well just make “Fahrenheit 451″ the national book.

Let’s try talking some sense into ourselves before taking the nannyism to a higher level, okay?
