It seems any excuse is being used these days to attack democracy and free speech on the web, especially when the recording and movie industries look likely to benefit.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/7533543.stmIn a review of net safety, the Culture, Media and Sport select committee said a new industry body should be set up to protect children from harmful content.
It also said it should be "standard practice" for sites hosting user-generated content to review material proactively.
YouTube's owners said the site had strict rules and a system that allowed users to report inappropriate content.
The committee also wants a rethink on how best to classify video games - but there is disagreement over who should run the new ratings system.
MPs say the same body which gives age ratings to films - the British Board of Film Classification - should be in charge, but the games industry supports its own voluntary code.
In its report, the committee said that some websites it had monitored as part of its review had a "lax" approach to removing illegal content.
It said it was "shocked" that the industry standard for removing child abuse images was 24 hours.
Placing a group of unelected and unrepresentative people in charge of the nations morals is not going to inspire confidence in the UK government or politicians, if they feel they are unable to act sensibly as adults and are shocked to find the world is not always the cosy place they believe it to be then I feel they should perhaps do us all a favour and cease to use the internet, it is after all a system designed for the use of those with a brain.
