The internet is no different to existing published, filmed, photographed and/or produced content, and should be subject to the same levels of censorship/restriction that would apply to printed, photographed or filmed media.

If a government has the right to restrict what can be published (for reasons of decency etc) then why should the internet be any different?

I don't understand why the people and governments all over the world feel that monitoring and censoring the website is any different to the other forms of media control that have been in place for generations.

And if people feel that the internet should be free from any restrictions then perhaps we ought to ask why certain books, movies and artworks are also banned/restricted.

Ultimately it's the same content delivered via a different medium; that's the only difference.
