Worse than Hitler?

Not the leader of Iran, Syria, or North Korea. According to a lawyer in India, porn is “worse than Hitler, worse than AIDS, cancer or any other epidemic.” It is even “more catastrophic than nuclear holocaust.” The government of India recently tried to ban more than 850 pornographic Websites. “Under the Indian law, we are duty-bound to examine and block Web sites that transmit content that violates morality and decency,” said Ram Sewak Sharma, an official in the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology. The ban has now been partially eased after public outcry.

It is not just the U.S. that has an atrocious nanny state. The sad thing is that some conservatives wish the U.S. government would likewise police the Internet.
