Well this is interesting...

I'm not sure how much weight this holds, what the validity is, or if it will be implemented, but the very thought that we will have to be policed by our ISPs and the government just because a few bureaucrats think it will stop piracy or child pornography is ludicrous. If this is to be believed, we'd be denied the basic rights of free speech and privacy. I don't like this one little bit.

It's not up to the government to say what I can or cannot do, unless it clearly breaks the law. They could be using the money they spend on this for education, health care, social assistance, scholarships and grants, to catch the real criminals, not policing ordinary people.

It's not going to get anywhere - these attempts at net policing never do, because the world wide web is the WORLD wide web. The standards of one country don't apply everywhere.

The possibility of this working is slim to nill. ISPs aren't set up to keep the files of the amount of information going through their systems on a daily basis. It's just ludicrous.

Besides, I can think of at least 10 things off the top of my head that people search for regularly that, if some conservative moron policing the internet saw it, would land them in jail for some stupid reason because of a stupid assumption. Ugh. Die in a fire, conservative fundamental asshats who push their beliefs on everyone else. -_-

Have an incriminating icon, for laughs. XD
