Cybertip and Project CleanFeed Canada
Source: saunderslog.com
Last thursday, Cybertip.ca and all the major Canadian ISPs announced an agreement to implement a voluntary censorship scheme designed to block access to child pornography. Cybertip maintains a list of sites with illega. (in Canada) content on them, and th. ISPs have agreed to simply block access.
The announcement has generated quite a bit of debate. Engtech published a lengthy piece titled The Great Firewall of Canada, and Michael Geist also wrote about it in his Project CleanFeed Canada
This move strikes the right balance between government mandated censorship, and a total free-for-all. One can legitimately question the processes by which Cybertip arrives at its list, but the goal should be completely above reproach. If you think otherwise, then you’re effectively demanding the right to view illegal content.
