August 31, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – “The days are now numbered for surfing an uncensored, open-access Internet, using your favorite search engine to search a bottomless cyber-sea of information in the grandest democratic forum ever conceived by humankind. Instead you can look forward to Googling about on a walled-off, carefully selected corpus of government propaganda and sanitized information “safe” for public consumption.

Sen. Jane Nelson, R-Lewisville, who sponsored the parental consent measure, […]

LONDON, August 30, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The British Government announced today plans to broaden laws against “extreme” pornographic material to the Internet. After an extensive, and still ongoing joint Home Office/Scottish Executive consultation, Home Office Minister Paul Goggins said the new law would outlaw possession of “extreme pornographic material which is graphic and sexually explicit and which contains actual scenes or realistic depictions of serious violence, bestiality or necrophilia.” While the law aims only to outlaw “extreme” pornography, experts in the field of sexual abuse note that all pornography is harmful. Such experts have long pointed to the relationship between […]
