Rejected petition Prevent the Government from forcing ISPs to block porn

More details

Censoring of the internet should be done by parents and guardians of children, not forced onto ISPs (Internet Service Providers) by the government.

First it is 'adult material', then it could lead onto other things. This is very similar to CISPA/SOPA: it starts with one thing and escalates.
