The administration would like to state its unequivocal opposition to the amendment presently under consideration. The President and I both feel that the amendment would give licence to paedophiles to access illegal materials with impunity.
As a result of this amendment, the bill will essentially read:
No Internet service provider may bar access to online material on the basis of its content
Effectively - ISPs cannot block child porn, or terrorist websites, or other websites that perpetuate harm to the vulnerable or threaten our national security.
This administration does agree with Senator hughento that we should not discriminate regarding which illegal activities we block - we call for a tightening amendment, and not the relaxing amendment proposed, which would allow ISPs to bar any and all illegal material to their customers.
