EU Internet proposals to protect society

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - EU proposals to regulate content on the Internet are aimed at protecting society not undermining free speech, European Union Media Commissioner Viviane Reding said on Thursday.

Reding spoke at a news conference after a group of European Union culture ministers met to discuss extending rules restricting television content to cover telephones and the Internet as well as over-the-air broadcasts.

She said the proposed regulations reflected "basic societal values" -- the protection of young children and restrictions on incitement to hatred.

She said there is wide agreement on the restrictions against content that "goes too far and ... destroys our society."

"That has nothing to do with free speech, that has to do with the freedom to protect your society on the basis of laws which have been accepted by national and European parliament," she said.

I wonder what is meant by content that "goes too far and ... destroys our society." would PORN perhaps be included in that?
