This is problematic.

The best way to fight illegal porn and stolen content is at the roots, thus at server/site owner level. For cp, bestiality, snuff and copyright infringement this is easy and logic. All this is illegal everywhere so it can be dealt with at server/site owner level.

Content that isn't illegal everywhere, for example scat, could/should be blocked at service provider level. It would be impossible for the US to take down a server in Amsterdam because there is scat content distributed to US citizens from that server.

Anyway, yes the internet should be regulated by applying the existing laws to it, don't make new separate laws for the internet. What's illegal in real life is illegal on the internet as well, simple.
