"but this 'think of the children' argument is the same one that will be used to pass SOPA like regulation."

I have no idea what your point here is. You seem to be implying that because someone may dishonestly use a "protect the kids" argument, that others then shouldn't really try to "protect the kids".

If that isn't what you are saying then I have no idea what you intended to convey.

"to what degree to we sacrifice our autonomy to satisfy the regulator's thirst for a censored communications."

WTF are you talking about? reddit had bad shit on their site, and they took it down. There is no boogeyman here.



The only point I was making is, the 'think of the children' will be used to censor the internet by the gov't. Reddit is not censoring the internet. It's their own site.
