while i agree that there's a lot of things that i don't like on the net, or i deem inappropriate, i don't agree with censoring the internet.
if they know about these sites, why don't they do something to get them shut down?
if all they were censoring was cp, i'd be all for it. unfortunately, this is most likely only a beginning.
when you have certain lobbyists and such start swaying public officials, you can make a lot of hurt reign down.
with this way, anything can be blocked or shut down by the whim of a politician, or by someone fattening his pockets.
i agree that something needs to be done about cp, no doubt. but what happens when they start moving to other inapproptiate sites? say they start axing normal, legal adult sites? what if they start blocking forums and other sites with activists groups and such that the government (or people financially backing that government) starts closing down more and more?
granted, it *could* be (and probably would) a very slow progression. but like everything else, it eventually gets whittled down until you lose more and more. kinda like the bill of rights & constitution.
