Shock Horror! Another Tory sex scandal! http://news.techeye.net/business/camerons-censorship-me...arges
"Patrick Rock has been closely involved in drawing up Government policy on internet porn filters. It seems that while he was filling David's head with the terrors of paedophiles he was at the centre of a police probe over images of child abuse. Of course, this is not the first time Tories were "caught with their pants down" on this particular issue http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/david-cameron/....html Go figure. :shock: It appears the people attempting to limit our internet access using secret website blacklists, or surveilling our every move on the internet using hi tech secret programs as revealed by Snowden's leaks, as Cameron's GCHQ have been doing, often using the excuse of that they are protecting our children from paedophiles, are in fact themselves the very paedophiles they are supposed to be protecting us from. To cap it all, apparently the Tories knew about this at least 3 weeks before it broke in the newspapers. And Cameron was tipped off the night before the arrest it seems. No doubt, just in case there might have been any residual juicy kiddy porn on nr.10 computers that might be found the next day to embarrass the government. According to the mirror: "Mr Rock was arrested in the early hours of February 13. David Cameron was made aware of the investigation the previous evening, before officers raided Mr Rock’s home. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-2573442/Do-re....html This case is merely one of the many hypocrisies and contradictions that have arisen in relation to internet and other censorship. I am reminded of the rather excellent and revealing documentary on the moral panics of the "video nasties" era Video Nasties: Moral Panic, Censorship & Videotape (Video 2010) - IMDb Can we really trust the likes of Cameron and his advisors to censor, regulate and monitor our internet use? Is it time the "moral panic" argument for censorship lost it's legitimacy? |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3That's the way they handle things of this nature . Hold the news back as much as possible , check to see that there is nothing potentially damaging to any others in the club and then allow an official anodyne version of events to come out. Better still , as in this case, if an establishment paper or one of its editors pseudonymously breaks the story rather than have it come from somebody from "outside the tent" . Then the wagons are circled and the whole dirty affair gets shut down and hopefully forgotten about asap.

UK law in this area is quite wide-reaching and offers their police quite flexible tools to bring down people they don't like.
