Internet censorship

[gixxerboy1]

if someone in say, Poland set up a certain type website, wouldnt that have to be banned at the source? what about IP addresses? we saw how handy a certain ex-member was with those.

if America ban portions of the net wouldnt alot of laws have to be passed or amended? there would be massive financial implications also not to mention contravening human rights

oh i never think it would happen in the US, I was just saying it is possible to actually block content on the net. I dont think it would have to be done at the source. Think of it as a software you install on your computer so you kids cant access porn or other things, then do it for everyone in the country.
All kinds of laws would have to be passed. It would be huge news and all kinds of companies would lobby to stop it.
