Although it wouldn't be good if the government started stopping things other than pron, terrorism, etc. But loads of shitty things happen on net that it would be good if somebody stopped them. How about giving licences to porn sites (18+) only if they register and then create a blacklist of such sites to create an site blocker for various browsers?

If the people (peasants) have access to knowledge the rulers (government) feel threatened. Expect to see more of this "for the common good". I can hear the U.S. politicians saying it now "but they've already done this in Australia". Yeah, right, they banned guns in Australia too, the crime rate went through the roof!. Doing something because they did it in Australia makes about as much sense as doing it because it was done in the U.S. Knowledge is power.

The advance of technology is surely outpacing the ability of most people to live with its consequences.
