Censoring any opinion will distort the zeitgeist of the nation, making it an illusion. The only way a healthy and free society can maintain itself is through the rigorous debate of it's citizens.

The woman at the end is way off. I say let people read that stupid holocaust denial bullshit along with anything else that's equally pointless. How else will they ever be able to spot bullshit unless they've read both the profound works as well as the unsupportable, nonsensical psychobabble of charlatans? It's right back to Hitchens' point all over again. Who's going to determine what's good versus what's bad? People like her have no faith in society's ability to discern garbage from value.

They forgot North Korea on the list of filtering countries. It filters to the extreme.

Just for the record, let me say that yes, racist and Nazi sites should be allowed. The option of censorship, which will certainly be abused to block good material, is much worse.
