INTERNET CENSORSHIP IS THE TRUE EVIL. NETOPIA IS A FOOL. CENSORSHIP IS THE ENEMY OF TRUE FREEDOM. CENSORSHIP SHOULD BE A FAMILY THING. WHY NOT SUPPORT FAMILIES TO HAVE STRONGER TIES INSTEAD OF PURSUING THIS CRAP? PERHAPS PHILIPPINES HAS BECOME TOO WEAK AND RELIGIOUS AND ADHERE BLINDLY TO THOSE IN POWER INSTEAD OF TAKING PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY?

i read from BBC.com (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/2540309.stm)that officials from china seemingly blocking high trafficked websites, but not really porn..

coming from someone who doesnt do much, i think netopia just want publicity by issuing such statements.. i mean come on, free advertising for and from a pioneering business with competitions growing more and more each day.. and yeah right they are concern, pfft, all we know they just cant afford to keep reformating their computers every week due to spywares, adwares, trojan and viruses, resulting to slower PC performance irritating their customers, thus losing profits..

in fairness, i think netopia revolutionized the internet industry in the philippines with their per-minute charging and usually faster connection…pretty soon other ISPs would follow suit, and that will make internet cheaper and more accessible to more people (imagine paying for at least 30 minutes just to check your email).

[...] I read this first from The J Spot. Netopia is lobbying for internet censorship. Granted, it’s “only for porn”, but I share Jangelo’s fears that the same arrangement can be used to stifle online speech. It’s a valid concern, shared by the good people who opposed the Communications Decency Act back in the day (web old timers may remember the blue ribbon campaign). [...]

Well written, Angelo! The government always has something better to do than trying to slay the porn dragon. A more caring parent is a hundredfold better than any software or law on censorship.

What next? Well, just to add a little more info to the discussion:

In China, they’ve deployed online “police” and “advocates” who blend in in forums and promote the interests of the Chinese government. The main fight in China, though, is not against porn but against … uhm … political uprising.
