"To expand the example, lets assume that the topic here was not child pornography but a racist website. The police has a list of extreme right racist websites and calls the ISP to block all of them. Would you agree to this? I personaly dispise racism, the reasoning behind it is idiotic and people who believe this shit are generaly no smarter then a peanut. However, I do not believe sites like that should be censored because it falls under freedom of speach. Once you start taking down sites or other things that might offend someone of some group of people then there will be no ending to it"
The two cannot be compared.
If the Racist websites were showing actual people being harmed and beaten and the like, and it was encouraging others to do the same, then yes, i would agree they are the same and they need to be dealt with.
Likewise, if you have sites (like NAMBLA, i do believe) that SAY that child molestation etc is healthy, then, i believe that falls under freedom of speech.
But comparing a website that preaches Racism to a website that exploits children sexually is invalid.
