Bill seeks to put porn block on computers sold in SC
The mindset that would even produce such an idea is incredibly dangerous. A computer-naive person might think that requiring that all computers be sold with specific software installed is no more burdensome that requiring that all cars be sold with safety belts. But we all know that making the infrastructure to actually enforce such a rule would lead us to Stallman's worst dystopian nightmare: a Central Authority that somehow dictates what must, and what cannot, run on your computer.<p>There's still a real danger that something like this will come to pass, especially when all the popular OSs come from centralised vendors upon whom pressure can be applied.
