Because a lot of my research (ancient history) would fall under the terrorism act just like this site would.

There are already filters for protecting your children and for iffy people on your pc. Just turn them on.

This wave of censorship has been creeping over from China over the last few years. And all the thanks goes to one US company for writing and monitoring the software which will change the web and our lives as we know it forever. Microsoft....

A lot of web surfers only seem to be interested in simply things, like games, fashion, sport etc, and will not wander to far from their bubble. So a controlled web would go unnoticed and unchallenged by them. With their attitude, “if you’re not doing anything wrong”

But i for one am like dog shyte, i'm everywhere. The freedom of clicking on a random link and discovering something totally new can only be describe as wondrous. The information that I have accumulated over the years could knock a few so-called historians off their pedal stools.
Blasphemy also comes to mind. Life of Brian. “Stone the b_astard”.

But under this censorship, it will all be locked out under the terrorism act; other folk’s material and mine will become illegal. So the government & co's little seedy doctrines will be allowed to flourish. All history and facts will be rewritten within a couple of generations.
