This is a sad day for Internet.<p>People like me, who were old enough in the late 90s to discover this new medium and explore our fantasies, whether porn, or so many free games, and so many other free stuff, like filling those forms that get you no where, talking to some person miles away, reading ancient books, dude it was fun.<p>We knew this day would come however, when our subconscious dream of having an outlet with no rules, an anarchistic environment where one has complete freedom to say whatever they wish, free from the knowledge that anyone is looking over their shoulder, that anyone knows who they are, that anyone cares about what they say or see. This is the place where rich and poor are alike, treated alike, a place in which one can travel from phsycis to china, from cars to conversing about business.<p>Child pornography is abhorrent and despicable, but so is bestiality, some think porn in general is too, some think films with violence should be banned, games with violence, etcetera.<p>When my children will grow to my age perhaps they will never have known of a different internet, yet I will be glad to tell them the tale of a place where no one ruled and everyone was free, free from the knowledge that anyone is watching them, that anyone knows them, that there were any consequences to their actions. I will tell them that in that period, the stale and static internet that they now have, was blossoming, dynamic and advancing at incomprehensible speed. I will tell them that this place was the land of freedom, where man and women where able to escape the propaganda of their countries and find out the truth, where men from tyrannical states were able to get out the news of what is happening inside.<p>I will tell them that this was the land of freedom and like every other freedom land it fell to those who distrust us, to those who believe that we are incompetent, weak, unable to look after ourselves, unable to know what to think, what is right and wrong.<p>When a democratic country opts in to censor this place, it is a sad day for freedom itself. Has Germany forgotten where only 60 years ago their censorship and propaganda took them? Think of the children! - they cry. And I am, I want my children to have an outlet which is governed by no one, I want my children to have a place where no one knows who they are so that they may feel entirely free to say whatever they wish with no exception whatever, because words are what makes us think and no one has been harmed in the past 20 years from people being able to say whatever they wish.<p>It is abhorrent that a democratic country opts in for censorship and I think that if the time has not come to say enough, the kettle is boiling to the near limit.
