Censorship does not protect children. Instead, it instills in all, a fear of information. It can, has, and will be used as a tool of the government to harass anyone it feels is not cooperating with its master vision. Censorship occurs when a government does not care to listen to reason. You see, censorship cares nothing for your opinion, only for groups with political clout.
Censorship takes all and gives very little in return.
What do you think is the best way of getting support from legislators who broadly have no idea of the Internet except that it is a system for exchanging porn. Legislators like many other people are convinced by action instead of talk. Our goal is to get enough sites coded so that a safe cyber-playground for our children is in existence. Proof that the Internet community will implement solutions on its own can convince them of alternative solutions to censorship.
