UK Plans to Censor "Esoteric" Content
If you want to censor pornography (there are many arguments pro and con about this, but that's another discussion) why not make it a bill that filters...I don't know, maybe pornography? The word esoteric, on the other hand, can mean many things. It can include alternative health information, spirituality, UFOs and who knows what else.
If this goes through, people from the UK may not even be able to access this forum. Many topics, at least in the Off Topic area, could definitely be categorized as esoteric.
This is clearly a case of the government trying to prevent people from accessing any information that is alternative, non-mainstream or not officially approved. It would set a sinister precedent, as this isn't China or Iran but a supposed democracy. If they can get away with this in the UK, it's likely that other Western countries will soon follow.
