Internet Censorship laws.

Google's Schmidt, Hunter Weigh in on Porn at Big Tent Event

Quote:
HERTFORDSHIRE, U.K.?Google execs took a strong stand today at the company's Big Tent event in England against the mandatory imposition by government of internet filtering or any type of censorship, even when the conversation directly targeted the sticky subject of online porn, which is now apparently the de facto elephant in the room at every such event.
The question is simple. Does a Government have the right to set censorship laws?

Please, forget about online v offline as then it could be argued the same for radio, TV, press, etc.

Then discuss.
