Iceland could become the first Western democracy to attempt censorship of the internet under radical proposals to block online pornography.
The government is considering introducing internet filters, such as those used to block China off form the worldwide web, in order to stop Icelanders downloading or viewing pornography on the internet.
The unprecedented censorship is justified by fears about damaging effects of the internet on children and women.
Ogmundur Jonasson, Iceland's interior minister, is drafting legislation to stop the access of online pornographic images and videos by young people through computers, games consoles and smartphones.
"Iceland is taking a very progressive approach that no other democratic country has tried," said Professor Gail Dines, an expert on pornography and speaker at a recent conference at Reykjavik University. "It is looking a pornography from a new position - from the perspective of the harm it does to the women who appear in it and as a violation of their civil rights."
When young, the girls over there look just stunning. But they quickly transform into overaged mamas. In Reykjavik the parties are amongst the hottest on earth, but don't imagine the girls to lay down easily, especially with strangers. In fact they burn out as fast as they got lit. It probably has to do with the fact that everybody know eachother in such a small & remote place.
Pierre, did you ever drilled the ice?
I hope Ogmundur Jonasson, Iceland's interior minister, will also stop the TV to show the news because I think the war in Iraq or Syria is giving more troubles to childrens than nudity or sex which are the most natural things on earth.
But crime, murder, kidnapping, imolations, drown, car accidents, and all sad things full of blood : NOT AT ALL !!!
