A bill has been introduced into the Israeli parliament which would require all ISPs to give their customers a choice: if you want absolutely free web access you must give your age and ID every time you access a site that contains porn\\violence\\gambling; alternatively you can choose to remain anonymous and have that kind of site automatically filtered out.

What do you think? Is this a legitimate protecting of the vulnerable or crass censorship?

Of course, there is no guarantee that this private member's bill will be enacted into law; but neither is there any guarantee that it won't.

The paradox has often been noted that the United States, founded in secularism, is now the most religiose country in Christendom, while England, with an established church headed by its constitutional monarch, is among the least. (Richard Dawkins, 2006)
