[ILUG] Rather OT... ISP's assets could be seized

Hello all,

I came across this article the other day, and it struck me as a little odd.
http://scripts.ireland.com/search/highlight.plx?TextRes=FBI%20AND%
20ASSETS&Path=/newspaper/ireland/2001/1013/north6.htm .

It is not that I condone the any terrorist activity or any such thing,
but is it just me, or it is the FBI flexing its muscles a bit too much.

Could the same thing happen here in Ireland? As in, who regulates the type of material
that ISP's are allowed to hold? Finally, what is the current standpoint on
the "Freedom of Speech of the internet", is it very subjective to each country...

Regards,
Richard
