Is it time to stop censorship of the media?
The Guardian has a thought-provoking column today on the issue of censorship in an internet age. It's a useful reminder that sometimes technology can develop more rapidly than attitudes, inevitably leading to clashes. The idea is quite simple: children can see anything at any time via the internet, so why impose a watershed on TV? Or censor 'traditional' media output at all? It makes sense but isn't likely to gain popular support (and it would probably fuel the argument that runs 'the internet is responsible for everything bad in the world', usually to be found in the Daily Mail).
