Well gentlepeople, what do you think about this
one? Check the site: filtering, labeling of sites, ISP's not taking their
responsibilities etc. Censorship or what? What is this 'right for a safe
Internet? IMHO the information highway is no place for minors. If you are a
parent, you stay with the kids when you walk on a busy street. But let them go
it alone on the web? It is more like a neo-conservative ploy mixed by
sponsorship from companies dealing in flawed concepts - usually the same people
anyway.
