David Cameron is to resist calls for international regulation of the web by Nicolas Sarkozy at the G8 summit. The French president will table proposals for controls on the internet on the first day of the conference of world leaders in Deauville, Normandy.Cameron's officials stressed they believed there were many hurdles and mechanisms before anyone could regulate the net internationally.

Sarkozy stressed that "if technology is neutral and should remain so, the uses are not," pointing out that the protection of children and respect for privacy were universal principles. "Do not let the revolution you started undermine basic rights of individuals to privacy and to full autonomy," he warned.Five of the participants at Sarkozy's eG8 meeting in Paris are due to deliv
er a report to the G8 world leaders.
Sarkozy's suggestion is similar to that of anti-animated cartoon protesters in Japan.
Their main idea is that regulating is needed for keeping children away from something bad.
In my opinion, such a regulation makes no sense because of the following reasons.
First, there is a concern about whether regulation is to be done under a certain biased ideology.
Second, it is not always better for us to make children invisible against evil in society.
For example, I decided not to drink alcohol by seeing my drunken father.
