That the government is going to get involved in selecting, by means of filtering software, what information should be blocked - this is completely outrageous. This absolutely cannot be allowed.

Sorry, Kazuo, there is nothing the little people can do about it. Personally, I wouldn't be sorry to see the porn, suicide and pedophilia websites filtered or shut down altogether.

Its just an over assertion of authority, and ypocracy where the corrupt of parliament dictate to ordinary people what is ok for them to view. What will happen is a huge blackmarket in banned images, more money for the yakuza, more payoff to the politicians and law enforcement. Certain sites should be shut down world wide for sure, but who decides what is ok? Will we all agree?
