who the hell is mda to control what im supposed to see on the net?
-
Aiyah, how many can they block? All my favourite *cough* image and video intensive sites are still accessible leh.
-
Since when has media been free?

so you're basically asking for the right to surf porn, no ? ....Originally posted by SMAPLionHeart:who the hell is mda to control what im supposed to see on the net? -
You think only SG controls web surfing?Originally posted by SMAPLionHeart:who the hell is mda to control what im supposed to see on the net? -
MDA is wasting time, money, and effort in banning these few web sites.
If they want to ban sites like these, there hundreds of thousands of them out there we can all easily surf up. They should ban the Internet altogether, or ban all those hudnreds of thousands of web sites.
Dumb ass! Trying to catch the wind in their hands!
If they want SQUEAKY clean society, don't bluddy legalize prostitution in Singapore lah!!! What the crap! One hand waving rotan the other hand pointing else where!
Control this control that. What much good does it all do???
Any better????
Same crappy people are still in society!!! -
y they dun ban porn website but website like playboy which is oso porn?
any1 can enligten me on this>? -
dont understand it too.
you cant even go to sites you want in the comfort of your own home. -
i totally have no freaking idea why they should even probe into what sites we surf
since we pay for our internet access, why shouldnt we have the freedom to even surf the sites we want ? if they tell me they are paying for our internet bills, i dont mind the banning of sites -
ermmm .... to wayang ? ....Originally posted by F.raon.I.R:y they dun ban porn website but website like playboy which is oso porn?
any1 can enligten me on this>?
but good point ... if they really want to filter out porn, a mandatory smut filter like netnanny or something would be much more effective eh ? ...
perhaps this is just a bone thrown to the ultra conservative fringe ... -

Media Freedom vs National Security.
I don't know what the 100 sites are about but imagine a site that gives out instructions on making explosives or instruction on how to prepare bio hazardous material...anthrax, botulism, smallpox, saccharin gas, mustard gas, Matthew Lim Li Hao's fart gas, etc. Rather have freedom curtailed and be safe. -
the internet cannot be policed, it's impossible, there are simply too many sites out there for any goverment to shut them all down ....Originally posted by I_am_PeTe_Parker:Media Freedom vs National Security.

experiment on it yourself, google for bomb making instructions, it'll will you nightmares how many hits you can get
same thing for porn .... it would be like trying to hold back the ocean on a beach with sandbags -
It is for no reason that Singapore is branded the world's biggest Nanny state.
But it is also true that whatever is being done is almost useless,there are so many ways to find loophole to find what the person wants on the internet. -
