Why show concern over something that is never going to work and exposes
the gross lack of understanding of the Internet of the present
government...?<br><br>Because, firstly we all know too well what happens when someone get to decide what is and what is not legitimate!<br>
<br>
And secondly , just because something is "never going to work" dosen't mean
it wont cost a lot of people pain and money.<br>

Why show concern over something that is never going to work and exposes
the gross lack of understanding of the Internet of the present
government...?<br>
<br>
Why will it not work?<br>
<br>
Think logistics, how will they enforce it and have all ISPs block traffic to the site?<br>
-- Especially if the site is SSLd.<br>
-- Especially if the site is hosted on a major overseas service providers' website.<br>
-- Especially with the myriad of open (insecure) proxy servers on the Internet.<br>
-- Especially with services designed to defeat this kind of issue (think Tor).<br>
<br>
Is there any more I have forgotten? (I'm sure there is).<br>
<br>
