I am confused... is there any adult in this country who wants to be fingerprinted to be able to check his email or chat in an adult chat group (perhaps looking for a mate, perhaps not using very academic language all the time - i.e. without resorting to Victorian code along the lines of 'I wish I could tickle you softly' when someone means something entirely different, yes) ?
Someone with nothing to hide probably doesn't care. On the other hand, if their afraid that someone could find out what they're doing, maybe they shouldn't be doing it? Besides, I don't see any reason why the resulting identification system has to be personally traceable. By the way, your kids *do* go to
the beach from time to time (without wearing blindfolds) ? Or not ?
My kids are under 4 years old so they don't surf the web or the waves ;) but I don't really want them to be surfing porn sites when they grow up.
Sorry for asking, there is no need to answer, I'm just mumbling to myself. Of course I fully endorse setting up firewalls and content filters of any kind you wish at *your* premises. At a cost.
That's what people do now and it is less than effective. If you are worried about the investments necessary by the ISP's, I say start taxing porn users and take the money to pay the ISPs for their work. If this country can tax a $12k car into a 120k NIS car, they can tax porn users (and cigarette smokers while they're at it). And, g*d forbid the UN treat p0rn like they treat nuclear weapons,
because if their treatment of Iran and Iraq and a couple of other countries (like NK) in the last ~17 years is any measure, then it would mean p0rn would be a minor misdemeanor ranked about equal to farting in public, to be punished with a pat on the back and the extraction of a promise not to do it again.
I stand corrected- Halevai they would treat it as they should treat nuclear weapons. Yonah Peter P.
