COMMENTARY: LAWS TO CENSOR THE PARANORMAL AND SPIRITUALISM?

I was informed that The English Prime Minister is planning to introduce laws which could lead to the widespread blocking of ‘esoteric’ websites. The Internet Service Providers (ISP) MUST GIVE power to CUSTOMERS to block websites that relate to pornography, suicide, bestiality, obscenity, alcohol, terrorist related content – and ‘esoteric’ material. Esoteric material could mean that all websites to do with Spiritualism - spirit contact would be censored.

My English colleagues are concerned that deciding what content is "esoteric" will be handed over to an anonymous employee of an internet company which is not accountable.

I cannot see that happening because Spiritualism is a recognized religion. The United Nations gives protection to religions and if the British PM tries to censor Spiritualism, there would be an automatic appeal to the High Court or the United Nations itself to invalidate the censorship against Spiritualism. But uninformed people will still have the power to censor Spiritualism by censoring ‘esoteric’ aspect without knowing they are censoring Spiritualism and afterlife investigations.

The same goes for scientific afterlife investigations. There would be an appeal to the United Nations to direct the UK to remove any censorship of scientific investigations into the afterlife. How could science be ‘esoteric’?

Sadly the vast majority of subscribers will have no idea what “esoteric material” covers. Time to educate the people in the UK to protest to their Prime Minister not to ‘allow esoterica’ in his computer censorship laws.
