Picture of PM who Banned Porn from UK |
Information is power and knowledge, and while morality is important this ban goes far deeper than that. By denying the right to access porn, is just the start in allowing a government the legal precedence to ban and censor other matters.
Pornography is immoral. A majority can confirm this. And because a majority knows that it's immoral, a government can use this as a subtle way to take on legal power to control the entire internet. Once legal precedence is established. It can be expanded far beyond just pornography. In fact, there is no difference from a legal perspective, now that precedence is established, between the UK and China (where facebook is forbidden).
The acts and rights of a government are far more complicated than the concern for immorality being accessible online. The more rights people willingly give to a government, the more power a government has to use in controlling the people.
The purpose of government is one thing, but the enigma of government is to control the people. Even a well constructed government, like in the United States, has lost many original freedoms and rights due to legal intervention. Such constraints are taxes -- like Medicare, Medicaid & Social Security. 78% of Americans paying taxes for Medicare & Medicaid don't even have health insurance themselves! Before 1913, there was only sales tax and property tax -- so only land owners & merchant transactions were taxed.

It is time people start to realize the immorality of allowing governments to control their lives.
