Blocking IPs That Violate New 2257 Regulations
 

- Have any of you heard of the possibility that government legislation may soon require Internet providers to start BLOCKING traffic/surfers who visit sites that violate the new 2257 update?

- Technically, wouldn't this then BLOCK all US citizens from visiting non-US, non-legal, non-2257 complying sites?

Its already done. In China and Saudi.

if they do that im gonna be mad.....

Internet/Digital travel via bandwidth should be considered on par, from a legal perspective, with actual physical travel.

A citizen is expected to pay attention to a country's laws when in that country, what makes Internet users any different?

new business plan: proxie selling

why doesnt that come as a big surprise ...

but hot damn thats going to open up a few new jobs.. think about all the people that has to surf to see if a site is up to par with the tons of stuff that opens up every day...

block one paysite, 3 new start up , domains cost near to nothing nowadays.

how would they know which ones to block?

internet was supposed to be the only place where you can "travel" absolutely free without any restriction - that would allow you to discover what you haven't known till now.
I like that idea so I am against any restrictions.

your ip gets blocked at the main name servers that run the internet. for some sites it is alreasy being done.

I sale short pees....:pimp

It is safe to say you are for Full Internet Regulation.

that would be absurd

You must be lost, you should join your idiotic friends at: http://www.slashdot.org/

Im not sure what the details are but it is pretty close to this in Australia already

I just dont think they will get away with it in the US.... I can actually see people being really pissed about it - demonstrations and that sort of thing

The US government can't police foreign sites to see if they comply with the new regulations.

Not even the DOJ has a big enough bank-roll to fly out to Yubekhistan 50 times a month to see if the webmasters have all the documents available at the address listed on their websites.
