Important:

This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament

Petition Internet Should be free and websites should not be banned.

More details

The internet should be free and should not be dictated by large corporations. The only blocks that should be implemented are for Indecent exposure of Children. Blocking Pirate Bay or any Torrent website was not just used for Illegal downloads but had also a lot of legitimate uses such as Linux distributions.
If we do not get a proper system in place then who knows what will be blocked next what about Youtube, there is a lot of content that is copyrighted.

If the trend continues and large cooperations and governments control access to the internet then Freedom of Speech will be breeched. Imagine creating a website that shows the government is not operating correctly and it gets blocked, Just like china!
Creating a situation where information can be blocked makes for a very corrupt and controlled situation.

I think all websites should not be blocked for monetary gain and should ONLY be blocked to protect individuals and not Corporations!
