Are the subtitles necessary?

Can someone from oversseas please answer, I'm genuinely curious.

I would like to travel and it would be good to know in advance if my accent is going to be a comunications issue.

@DottyDotDitto You can turn closed captions off by clicking the button on the right hand side of the video. Not sure why they're on by default.

and who is going to decide what is illegal behavior exactly?

SBS os the best news we got ignoramus.

The issue however is not about slowing the Internet down - the issue is whether our government should be able to control what we are allowed to see or read!!!!

@DottyDotDitto

Us here i can understand everything said. As long as you don't slur your speech you should be okay.

@AshleyKyd Ahh, found it, thank you. This new you tube set-up scares and confuses me, lol

That's laughable, the material will always be available online no matter how much money they spend on filtering.

Granted, child sex will never go out of style. Do they think by just keeping it out of sight popele will stop paying for child sex?

[LOLDISNEYLAND]

On one issue regarding this filter, pedophilia will now move to kidnapping children once material isn't available on the internet for their disgusting satisfaction. Internet filtering won't stop a pedophile doing what he wants. They will just find another way.
