Regulating the Internet in libraries, organisations and in the home

This is an area of particular interest to me. While I support parents censoring what content their children see and also understand the need for organisations to limit access to certain content, I disagree with most other forms of censorship, particularly on the Internet. I was agast at our federal government's plan to censor content, and literally cheered when it was announced it won't go ahead. I found the article on getting around YouTube being blocked interesting. Recently my workplace (non library) reinstated access to YouTube, as their advertising is now uploaded to YouTube as it is released and employees are expected to keep abreast of it. Luckily they can't figure out how to limit access to only their channel :)
