I am not adverse to some censorship of the Internet in certain areas addressed in that article regarding CHILDREN:

Quote:
Arizona House Bill 2549, which is now on Gov. Jan Brewer's desk for signature, was created to counter bullying and stalking. The law would make it a crime to use any electronic or digital device to communicate using "obscene, lewd or profane language" or to suggest a lewd or lascivious act, if done with the intent to "terrify, intimidate, threaten, harass, annoy or offend."

They are a very powerful group - in a permissive environment, and not uneasy to digitally take down or simply circumvent by any of several means.

They develop standards that are generally followed. That doesn't stop others from ignoring those standards.
