Egypt: Ban on On-line Porn

[introspective]

There would be quite a contention in the U.S. if the freedom of speech were to be amended. There are many webs of affiliates/corporate entities/organizations that are entrenched in the adult media industry. Sadly, a disillusioned 'progressive' will say that the industry provides jobs for a number of people. For instance, an aspiring young man and/or woman may briefly star in a porno flick/photo shoot for quick money once in their lifetime. Well there's a catch-22. Hypothetically, what if their future children stumble upon such degrading content?

It is implementable, however most internet geeks can get around the ban.

Websites can be banned at the application layer, or even better, they can be blocked at the network layer.

You can get around the block by using VPN's (Virtual Private network), or via the use of proxies.


Alhamdulilah this is good news for the youth of egypt.

Brother, assume this conversation happens in your home with your kids and nephews etc would you talk about using proxies and stuff to get around the ban?? Yes there are ways but lets keep mum about it, there's absolutely no need to talk like the elders and scholars say and advise over and over again:

"Don't even talk of the evil that's hidden"

Because man by nature is curious, and if in this case lets assume Egypt is successful in implementing it, and there comes a report in the newspaper which lists steps to get around the ban, tell me is that right? Wouldn't somebody only be curious to find out what they are?

No offense bro, I'm sure you get the point.

My nieces and nephews don't know about proxies, and if I keep them ignorant regarding this, Its good for them.

I believe there's an Hadith, the gist of which is:

"Be an agent of good, and do not be an agent of evil, see to it that you never become a source of anything that's evil, or which may lead oneself or others to evil"

and Allah knows best.
May Allah forgive me for the errors.
