tricky situation

Belgium blocks a website. And that raises a couple of doubts with me. True, the website contained disgusting information. When a person has done his time in prison, he's done his time. He has rights and that includes the right to privacy. Even more so if a person has not been judged yet. Everybody is innocent until proven otherwise. I agree that this site - that moved to South America to avoid Belgian legislation - should not have a place on the internet.

However, in a reply to the newspaper the main Belgian providers (telenet and belgacom) stated that this is not the first time. Belgacom even went so far as to imply that this happens ... maybe not on a regular basis ... but not that infrequent either.

That has me worried. For what is it I'm not allowed to see ? Where's the list of those sites and who takes these decisions ? I remember a time when catholic authorities (a bunch of old men) censored the movies we were allowed to see in school. They claimed to know what was "good" for us and what was "bad". Let's not go back to those days. Please ?
