The concept of censorship is a good thing, but the application of it in the context of internet traffic is really a breach of an individual’s privacy. How will all internet traffic be censored without some instrument that looks at all internet activity? Once an individual or group or instrument has a view of all internet traffic they then would have the ability to act on things outside the initial intent of what was being censored. I was of the belief if the Govt wanted to snoop into private lives, homes or conversations they needed a warrant to do such things (some statutory exceptions accepted). Do we really want internet providers (who we all trust - not) being the moral Police for the state, and could we trust them not to use the information for commercial or other gain. Only time will tell.
