"Filtering" the Internet

The right wing mind defines itself by its lack of imagination. It is this inability to see beyond the box that leads to support of repressive measures without seeing all the possible consequences.

History is full of totalitarian regimes and the introduction of special 'protection' measures.

Your ethnicity/religion on a card you must carry - no problem.

The King/President can authorize torture without recourse to the law or courts - it will only be used in extreme cases!

The implementation of a technology to censor/block something on the internet can be used to block anything. As a right wing politician providing administrative services to the ruling class, the minister's lack of imagination is likely a contributing factor to this appalling policy.

Failing that, one must assume profound ignorance, stupidity or plain visciousness to account for its continuation. Oh, and I've noticed a lot of talk on the internet about how to 'vote below the line'.
