Latest on that is, and get this, that it is NOT illegal to circumvent/bypass the filter.
Errr, what? Go figure.
Either way, things are slowly but surely being limited, if not eventually "shut down", freedom of speech, freedom to do what you want in your own home, what's next?
Of course it all gets veiled with the usual moralistic words of "protecting society", "protecting your own children", (last time i checked i was the parent of my own kids, not the government) blah blah blah.
Trouble is, some people are buying the crap that governments are selling
Once the Americans go that path Canada will follow behind. I hope I don't see that day come. That's not good. Its funny how we complain on nations like china who censor and control there net. But our own government and interest groups are doing the same thing...

Amazing truly amazing..
