I am sure the gambling people did not think they would get banned either (U.S.).
Secondly, "the net" is more complex than one universal govern. China, Cuba, among others censor their "net". So what you consider that, another might not.
Same for gambling, among other sites. Now illegal in the U.S., but not overseas. Again, one person's 'net' is not everyone's.
While I agree with you that 'the net' as a whole will not lock down porn. The point is that it becomes a 'slippery slope' when you start talking all that bullshit about throttling, governing, or regulation.
We've seen this countless times before through history, and frankly the net is one of the few "wild west" places left. Mainly because all these old fucks in parliament, congress, and corporate America are still clueless. They have not figured out how to bend it to their collective greedy will..........
yet.
