Good news everyone!

As it turns out, pornography was just the beginning.

Here's a (probably incomplete) list of additional types of content that will be filtered out by default:

• violence
• extremism
• terrorism
• anorexia and eating disorders
• suicide
• alcohol
• smoking
• web forums
• esoteric material
• web-blocking circumvention tools

And I'm sure it's just a matter of months or years until other countries adopt similar internet censorship policies.

Web forums?

VgChartz is doomed!!!

 

No, seriously, some of those filters are "ok" but blocking others like "web forums" and "esoteric material" are just as BS as blocking Porn Sites.
