Canadian ISPs to block illegal content
Canada's largest internet service providers have announced that they are installing filters to block illegal child exploitation content from their customers.
The participating ISPs, which so far include Bell Aliant, Bell Canada, MTS Allstream, Rogers, SaskTel, Shaw Communications Inc., TELUS, and Videotron. The ISPs, all of which are carriers, have the overwhelming majority of Canadian internet access subscribers.
It is my understanding that the carriers do not intend to apply to the CRTC for authority to implement "Project Cleanfeed Canada".

You have forgotten what Canada is.
Yes, child exploitation is probably one of the worst things a person can do. But this draconian sleight of hand will not go unnoticed.
STOP CANADIAN CENSORSHIP IF YOU WANT YOUR FREEDOM IN THE FUTURE.

I think this initiative to block child pornography is a good idea. However, without sharing the zionist conspiracy theory of Mr. White, I tend to think that some groups or organisations might try to abuse such tools to control the content of the Internet.
Being an anti-censorship militant, I must admit that I am scared of any initiative that aim at blocking anything. However, I think child pornography/exploitation is a reasonable limitation to our liberties. I will surely follow what Cybertip does.
With respect to Mr. White's theory, I must say that it is obviously not applicable to Mark Goldberg who let him post comments (that could be censored) on his website.
