What concerns me greatly is that the judge’s questions are strikingly reminiscent of the questions posed by the prosecutor in the famous Lady Chatterley’s Lover obscenity trial in Britain, in 1959. They are so similar that I have to ask myself was she making a deliberate reference to that pivotal case?
Justice Kaur is trying to have her cake and eat it. As for school libraries they should have firewalls and rules and so forth. The justice is deliberately conflating public State activity ( school) with private behaviour at home. ( browsing the internet). I would rather our justices paid more attention to the failure of our society to protect children in not setting up a Sex Offenders Register and similar measures.
Perhaps the PAP Government is looking for an excuse to implement a version of China’s Great Firewall ostensibly to shut out searches for pornographic images but actually to try and prevent the spread of democratic ideas, transparency and accountability. This ruling certainly gives it to them. (Well now I’m sounding like a conspiracy theorist.) Those most keenly watching the decision and the fate of Amos will be http://sonofadud.com/2015/05/14/amos-yee-in-the-lady-chatterleys-lover-obscenity-trial/
