Cyber policeing

Alrighty, I'm sick and tired of the Internet being policed, by so-called watchdog companies such as http://www.watchdog.net.nz. Who disallow people who subscribe to their services to access sites such as bebo.com or youtube.com because they deem it to be unacceptable? I think that this is the most outright most ridiculous thing anyone has come up with. Sure there are some things on both sites that are questionable, but in saying that there are always immense wealth of information that can be gained from these sites. They allow interaction with people whom are not in the same geographical location as you, allow you to make friends from all different walks of life. All national schools are subscribed to the service will blocks these sites for kids. I think that just by stopping them isn’t going to do any good for the children of the future. If you forbid something it makes it more likely that they will want to find out what it is. There should be proper education about the Internet and how it can both be used in productive and counter productive ways. I believe that the Internet should be free for all who access it, which was the way it was designed and that’s the way that it should stay. If we allow governments or so called regulatory bodies to filter what content we are able to view it takes away the entire of what makes the internet the internet. It’s the only way in current society that allows freedom or speech and freedom of movement. Just as a final point I believe that if kids want to learn about sex sooner rather than later that’s fine, after all kids in European countries learn about sex a lot earlier than us here in New Zealand or in the States. They turn out to be better at adapting to the idea than the rest of us. Don’t forget we always look up to Europeans when it comes to the domain of sex. So why then are we still not moving towards that goal rather than blocking it out, make a change… I don't know if any of what I said makes sense to any of you but it makes sense in my head. So if you want me to clarify any of it tell me.

Stand for your rights of freedom of speech, freedom or movement, and freedom of information.
