For example, child pornogaphy is censored everywhere.
I'm not really sure this is true. Even to the extent that it is, exactly what constitutes "child pornog[r]aphy" varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
It "goes too far" and "should be blocked". I think most people agree on this.Technically, that's not true. It isn't "censored" so much as it is considered a by-product of a crime, contraband. Harm is done to another human, a person's rights are violated. That is why child porn is "censored".
That's a nice theory, but it doesn't always match reality. For example, I'm assured there are jurisdictions where *purely textual* pr0n describing sex involving a child (FWVO "child") is kiddy porn, which totally fails your "by-product of a crime" test. /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mouse () rodents montreal qc ca / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
