When you are sitting at your computer, everything you do is voluntary unless it's some kind of clockwork orange situation.

If we ban globally eyelids being held open by mechanical means to force people to watch something, THEN no one will see something that they don't want to.

It should be illegal maybe to let children under a certain age unsupervised on The Whole Internet, to stumble upon scary things.

I am way more disturbed that the Elsagate videos were on blahtube than that events of life and death are posted.

Why are the 9/11 towers falling not censored then, a lot more people were dying in that moment, but for some reason this is a spectacle(key word) no one can turn away from.

And if we have the global means to censor a single file(which is what a video is) then how come these maniacs are setting up huge violent crimes with major hardware right under the noses of the same authorities?

Consistent application of principle, so difficult to find in this world.

When you hear them explain it on TV, the authoritarian solution just sounds so dang sensible, doesn't it?
