    Good to see the slant of Murdoch there.

    No, I don't think the rules should be implemented in this country, because we already have the rules in place. But people putting short movies up on the internet should have to comply with rules protecting children and preventing racist hateful speech.

    Sounds like a huge anti-EU fuss about nothing.

    To me it sounds like unenforceable and unnecessary bureaucracy that will translate into being a waste of time for the most part. Further, such regulation could easily be abused to attempt to stifle independent online media outlets.

    Of course they want to regulate internet TV, otherwise we might learn something which they don't want us to know.

    Why is it on this board when ever any one wants to put another person down because they do not like their arguments or thoughts on a matter, sometimes to do with the EU, other times to do with Race and immigration, etc they always revert to having to type in text speak. It is hardly a fair way to argue as it just undermines anyone who thinks a certain way and implies that every single person who thinks that way is so subnormally intelligent then talk and type like a chav.

    I mean, has anyone actually typed a post like that when refering to Europe and bureaucracy?

    WTF...

    Would even pr0n videos have to conform?

    And more to the point... just base your servers outside the EU, lol! Man, reeks of China style Internet regulation though. Worrying shit.

    Doubt we'll learn anything apart from the fact that some people know the 'truth' about 9/11
