The Rudd Government's plans to censor the internet in an attempt to protect children from inappropriate content and extreme and violent pornography has come in for some criticism.
The plan to impose mandatory filtering on Internet Service Providers has invoked the ire of a new generation of civil libertarians who regard any such move as a threat to their freedom and even some children's welfare groups say that mandatory filters, pointedly aimed at protecting children, are ineffective and a waste of money.
How can civil libertarians possible criticise this, after all they're only depriving people of their freedoms for the children.

"The childen"?
Yeah the children, whose interests are inevitably invoked when governments want to do something that would be hard to justify otherwise.
