Here's a little something I came across. TPTB are supporting website blocking at the domain name level, encouraging private power of censorship...here we go again with the controling the web issue. They are resiliant little parasites aren't they.

A line from the article:



The committee should introduce its new parasite-clearing legislation in the next few weeks.


Yeah, I bet there are more than a few parasites in the legislature that could use some clearing out.

But on the actual topic of the article... bad idea.

The way people talk you'd think there is only one search engine in the whole of the internet.

Nobody should ever rely on search engines regardless. They could filter and alter results all day long and most people would be none the wiser.

Even if sites were blacklisted from all search engines it'd be plenty simple to hop onto IRC or something and see a massive listing of sites for what you want.

And let the credit card companies stop providing service for sites. Just like Paypal their gun rule. Wont make any difference at all.

The best any banning/censoring/authoritarian tyrant can ever accomplish is nuisance. And the joke is that it'll cost them millions or billions to accomplish nothing at all.

Well, as taxpayers it'd cost us millions or billions.
