I can insult you via letter or telephone, yet there is no filter in the telephone which filters out offensive words, even if you report them to a black list.
Also, most CP servers reside in countries with could internet connections. The danish police made a list, which claimed sth. like:

2st Germany : ~200,

1. Well, apparently, they know. I just quoted from a document which a German party used for aguing against the the proposed German Filter. This document is - surpise - authored by the German "FBI" (the Federal police), which is responsible for such crimes - and the proposed filter. And the mentionend law enforcement authority used the paper of the Danish police. If you don't know the German Federal Police - they proposed the filtering, not just on CP, but also on virtually anything which is criminal offense in Germany. I fail to see why they should lie.
Of couse, the real "evil" servers run on anonymity networks etc., but you can't block them by DNS spoofing or "cleanfeed" for that reason.
2. You just play with words. You can't compare something which is sold on the market (alcoholics) to sth. which may appear "by surprise" say, on YouTube. Turkey blocks YouTube because the goverment feels offended by the content.

The solution is rather simple.
You first need to define what a "child" is. In this case, maybe 12/14 years.
Then you rule that children are "incomplete" humans and they can't decide properly.
But the parents are responsible for the child and it's education. So, to secure social peace, it is acceptable to take the parents to the court, until an age defined by law.

it's not playing with words, the "by suprise" appearances would be analogous to people using alco pops (sweet, soft drink like alcohol) to get people drunk while telling them it's a normal soft drink (and yes, it's happened before)

now, people normally wouldnt post illegal content on youtube, nor would normal people give somone alcohol while telling them its non-alcoholic, but the fact is, that it happens due to the occasional bastard out there ruining it for everyone else.

which, under that argument, makes it sensible to moderate the distribution of alcohol (which is the case in reality) and likewise, in itself, does not go against the concept of some degree of censorship on the internet, of course, blocking whole batches of sites goes beyond "some degree" and youtube tends to be quite quick in dealing with illegal content, so it shouldn't be blocked.

so in the end, you admit that fundamentally, a child is distinct from an adult, and should be treated differently in terms of punishment.

also, i had not said "makes people act uncontrollablly" its an "influence" not a "controller", so to speak.
and the point is, where a child would be drastically effected by alcohol (due to both the childs inferior physical and mental capacity) an adult would (in most cases) not be effected as such.

not all censorship is bad (i wouldn't want the nuclear lauch codes of the USA army to be freely available, for example, and not all "freedoms" (if you can call it such) is good (i wouldnt want children to have the freedom of carrying around weapons.

This is why we created systems of justice. They help in making restitution and repairs after people do stupid things.

As for preempting stupidity by creating restrictions, it does work in theory. The problem that prevents this theory from working in reality is that you need non-stupid people to create the restrictions, and since such people do not exist by your own admission, such restrictions are going to be flawed by the stupidity of the people creating them.

your argument does not link, at all, infact.

>children know of morality
>alcohol is not relevant
>is the banned content > GTA?

but, for the sake of argument
1. yes, there are some children <18, or even <16 years of age who know of right and wrong, but there many, many of them who dont.
and morality is not the only thing that is important, its also about self control and sound judgement, something which many children lack, and lack moreso under the effect of alcohol.

and if you recall, my alcohol example was in regards to the concept of "no moderation, only punishment", if such a stance were adopted, i think that ultimately more people would end up harmed than the current stance of "moderation and punishment"

and yes, i whole heartedly agree that games ratings, what is "bad" and what is not (in the political world) is completely hypocritcal, inbalanced, and full of messed up priorities and double standards, hell, triple standards even.

but my argument so far has been behind the concept and rationale behind internet censorship.
i believe bringing up specific material would introduce a whole new beast to this discussion, which is something im not really in the mood for.

>> No.3915182

The problem is that family structures changed because of feminists, and parents do not have the time to bring up their children properly. Back in the days all media was highly regulated, except for books maybe.
Then the internat came and blew these restrictions away. The younger generations are more tech savy than the older ones. So even without bad intentions (which I'm seeing but anway) problems will occur and the discussion should be going somewhere how to provide worried parents with appropriate solutions instead of HURR LET'S BAN EVERYTHING NOT CHILD-FRIENDLY© DURR XD XD XD.

perhaps you should re-examine your statement.

dealing in black and white and absolutes is the mark of immaturity, who is the real child here?

also, if you hate children, then dont browse the internet, yet you still do, why? because you are free to do so, no one is arguing for you to be banned from the internet because of "stupid children" infact, its almost completely out of the blue, it does not follow from anything that has been said in this discussion.

whereas alcohol is "moderation and punishment"

The point is that nobody knows what "reasonable moderation" is, you cannot create a law that says "the government can reasonably moderate the internet", and then NOT expect them to act like total NAZIs and turn the internet into an e-police state.

Because that's what government does. It takes reasonable, moderate ideas, and mutates them into complete, jack-booted authority, if only so some fat slob in an office can stroke his penis while thinking about how much power he has over the lives of other people.

the law has tried 14 (or was it 16?) year olds as adults before, they evaluate mental capacity/maturity, so no, your point is not solid enough.

also, while i certainly agree that those nearing an adult age should be held responsible for their actions (again, with regards to their mental capacity) even you agree that an 8 year old, or say, a five year old cannot be expected to suffer the same punishment as someone of an adult mind.

so really, the issue is "what is a child" rather than a distinct number we attached to an age.

No, that makes you a thief. Thieves do not respect the property order of society. They believe that "what's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine."

Even if you are raised by shitty parents, you have no doubt met other people that can explain why stealing is wrong, even if in abstract terms. You have the option of exploring WHY those laws exist before you decide that you're going to raid someone's house while they're on vacation and steal their t.v.

It's not because you're oppressed that you want to steal their t.v. It's because you want a fucking t.v., and you're a lazy son of a bitch who has no respect for others.

What moderation are you talking about? There's only one solution: Self-moderation of parents. Because the other choices are bad choices like censorship for all or some new invented tracking systems on your ID to ensure that you are an adult person and every site that does not implement it will be banned.

And do you understand that right now, the latter chocies are being made into reality? And that it will destroy independent information systems and transform the internet into some interactive pay-tv system?

Anyway because of the web2.0 retards we won't be able to stop this process. Just wait and see. First the censor system will come to ban illegal sites and then corporate interests will be enforced like copyright issues and more importantly personal rights issues where you will have to ask the source directly to use any kind of information (and pay) i.e. images which would make 4chan and other sites void.

my alcohol analogy, again, was in regard to the logic behind the "no moderation, just punishment" statement put forward previously.

true, no one does not what reasonable moderation is, likewise, people do not know of a perfect social structure, or a perfect legal system.
it does not justify a lack of trying, and to a degree, a lack of experimentation.
if things go downhill, it will collapse in upon itself, after all, society cannot be built without the support of its people.
if people do not support the censorship if it becomes apparant it will not work, it is likely they will persue a different method of moderation.

A five-year-old child is less likely to mug someone with a gun because he wants money than a 14-year-old, unless that five-year-old has blatant access to firearms and is seriously fucked up in the head.

Even then, we don't coddle the five-year-old. We lock that kid away somewhere until we're sure that the kid is somehow "fixed," and isn't going to do it again.

Even at that, I would like to see cases such as this end with some sort of recompense to the victim, instead of treating it like a "OH, YOU'RE SCREWED UP SO YOU GET AWAY SCOTT FREE AFTER SO MANY YEARS, lol" case, which happens so often.

Again, it's easier to simply let people face the consequences of their actions than it is to try to remove the possibility of taking a bad action. As for world hunger itself, it's a consequence of bad decisions on both the part of individuals and management structures.

your argument would only be reasonable if the events themselves are resonable outcomes to their precursors,

ie "first banning illegal sites, then corpate interests"

that does not seem to be the reasonable outcome, sure, it's possible, but is it the only possibility? and is it the most likely one? definitely not.

Australia (country currently doing this trial) has only ever had a single case of government approved censorship (besides this one) and that was during WW2, where they blacked out certain details in war letters.
the public had an uproar about this, and i doubt the government would jump in blindly to censorship again.

in order to steal something there must be "intent"

this is something the law recognises, and infact, many people do.

if you forget to pay after refueling your car, and had no intention to steal the fuel, but regardless, you had inadvertantly drove off, that is not theft.
proving it is a completely different matter of course.

so likewise, an insane person, if they hypothetically believed an object to belong to them (ie, someone who believes themselves as a God/king of the world) then its not "theft" as defined by the law.

you may disagree with this view, but it sounds right to me to take into account "intent"
it also makes the different between an accident and murder.

The difference between murder and an "accident" is that murder is one is committed with knowledge and the other is committed with no knowledge. The murderer knows he's killing someone and wants to do so. The person responsible for the accident doesn't know he's killing someone and doesn't want to do so.

Two different things.

I think what you're TRYING to say is that the difference between someone who is insane killing and someone who isn't insane killing is the understanding of the law and knowledge of right and wrong.

But that's unimportant. Murder is murder, even if the person is insane. We just treat the perpetrator differently depending on mental competency. It doesn't change the nature of the crime itself.

Also, kleptomaniacs are not treated as "not responsible for the actions due to mental disease or defect," unless they're unaware of whether their actions are right or wrong. The urge to do something is not an excuse for doing it.

No, it is as i said, the difference between an accident and a murder is intent.
if you intend to kill someone, and succeed, you are a murderer
if you do not intent to kill someone, and you inadvertantly do, you are not a murderer, you may be seen as such by some people, but the law will recognise the person to have committed "manslaughter".
there is no logical reasoning i can put forward (off the top of my head) for my reliance on "intent", so it is unlikely i will convince you what i have said above is reasonable, suppose theres nothing more to be said on that point"

and also, the urge to do something is actually quite often a good justification, in itself, to do something (i am hungry, so i shall eat. i am bored, so i shall read) these are in essence "urges".
howeverm if there is a dominant reason, or factor to not do something, then that completely subverts the justification through desire (i am hungry but i am fasting due to reason X so i will not eat, i am bored but i have a test so i shall not read a book but instead i shall study)

Just as McDonald's is not responsible for you getting fat from eating their food, Atkins is not responsible for you suffering health problems by using that diet system (correctly or incorrectly). Nobody is forcing you to use it. If it sounds bogus, then don't do it.
