As a duly charged member of the Internet Obscenity Board, I am here to inform you that a decision has been rendered... You are obscene.

(Defined by Obscenity statue 12.1.34 ~ 43, dated 1 April 2016)

Therefore, the government will now block any internet access to you.

Welcome to Saintorum-world. Where obscenity is defined by government bureaucrats.

Dude, you have no idea about the variety of proposals for limiting access to porn. No one is saying that you won't have access to your precious pornography if you want it and can pay for it. However, there should be serious restrictions on who can view what and where. Many of us have suggested a porn-only domain (.xxx) which would segregate obscenity to a ghetto which can easily be blocked by decent people.

There are plenty of other ideas out there that make much more sense than the current all-access system we have in place now which allows any 12-year-old to view the latest simulated rape websites if they so desire. The core of the argument here is over whether the people and their elected officials have the right to restrain the aggressive onslaught of hideous and ubiquitous pornography. The answer to that question is clearly "yes" as such filth has nothing to do with freedom of speech.
