I will say I did sign the petition, not becuase I think all porn should be off the internet...if you want to look at it that is your right. I find it disgusting. I signed the petition because I am tired of my hotmail inbox being filled with porn related links and the like. I think it is way too easy to access esp. for kids and that needs to be better controled. Does that take away some freedom? Maybe. But does it protect kids? Yes. Which aspect is more important? That is a question that can only be answered by each individual person...and it won't be the same for everyone.
Freedom is a very important aspect in life, and all people should have the right to live a free life. There are some aspects of freedom, however, that if provided openly, bring harm to the society. The more people allowed to visit such websites, the greater the risk of having an immoral, disgusting society. I think freedom should be there, but not in this aspect. It is better to have a clean society, than to provide freedom in every single thing including absolutely unacceptable activities, that bring harm to the society.
