If they do pass law to try and censor the internet how will it be
implemented. Will they hold the ISP liable , if not will each site have to
pass a censor , will is not pratcile. If they have a list of banned sites
then they be luckey to ban 1% of the sites that break this law. There is
no way of censoring the internet.
