The government knows best, dear. Better a million people be blocked from things they want to view than even one tiny, innocent child sees something that might disturb them even a teensy bit isn’t it?
We should thank those brave people who tirelessly view bad pages and take notes on what they find so they can make their filters even better. The government of course will be offering some “suggestions” they will incorporate to help you have a safer Internet experience as time goes by.
We think it’s for the best if eventually we don’t bother your busy self with notices that you tried to see something we think is bad, but rest assured, we’ll be keeping an eye out to help you make wise choices and may even ask you to come in for counseling and correction if you try too hard to see disturbing images and sites or keep searching for stuff that might cause unrest or unnecessary questions…
We really want to make sure nothing upsets you or causes you to worry that the government isn’t doing things in the best and safest fashion for your comfort and convenience.
We’ll do the deciding so you don’t have to, that’s true freedom.
To lawmakers and bureaucrats, you will always be our little helpless child who needs protection from the big, bad world. Not that the U.S. is a lot better these days but you do need to recall Brits are “subjects” before they are citizens.
