Thought this might be worth some small discussion on here, after all some of our favourite genres of films have been subject to previous moral panic, censorship and even continued bans to this day.
So what does everyone think about call me Dave's plan for filtering the internet, having a 'blacklist' of sites and search phrases and anything else he can think of to please the hysterical Mumsnet/Daily Mail/insert other demagogues/ crowd?
Totally unworkable policy formulated by people who are technically clueless?
Dangerous thin-end-of-the-wedge censorship?
Necessary for this day and age?
Other?
