    Default Should we censor shock sites?

    for those of you who do not know what
    http://www.goatse.cx/
    is here is the wikipedia entry for it.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goatse
    somebody tried to trick me into going to it today and to my surprise there is no longer disgusting pictures on the site.
    So it seems that the interwebs are a little bit safer now.
    what do you people think about shock sites? Should they be censored or would that be a breach of our rights to free expression?

    Alright however I now realize it even says in the wiki article that the website no longer has nudity.. it now has a robot and gumbi.. do you really think I would link to something nasty like the original goatse and risk getting banned?

    edit: here is the new image.. while it is suggestive it is not nasty...

    If you say so however I just posted the image. The point of this thread is not to try to trick people into looking at an offensive image it is to discuss the fact that the net is being censored and whether or not it is a bad thing.

    im perfectly fine with them censoring images like the actual goatse...i think the only things on the internet to be censored should be shock sites...its no fun stumbling upon one because some one thinks its funny
    You look great today.

    Right.. Tubgirl, Goatse and a few others I believe should not be allowed... however we can't go and censor everything or we will just be like Australia or China..
