How can this go ahead when all public polls are in opposition? I thought the very idea of a democratic governing body was to represent the views of the population by assigning a spokesperson for each sector of the country. What is basically transpiring here is a "We know what's best for you, So sit down and take your medicine" approach to leadership. This is not a plan representative of the people, and it is not a plan that will provide worthwhile gains. This will not stop child pornography and this will not stop piracy, these are both things that have been around long before the internet was a widespread medium of communication. Even in the ideal instance where the majority of content is successfully filtered, we will only see a return to underground pornography rings, and organized bootlegging of entertainment media. I live in a country where the Internet has a standard of quality many times below that of the rest of the western world experiences. You aim to lower this standard, putting us through even further shame on a technological front. Even this very blog is filled with passionate reply's, such as this one, which are being ignored by the very people employed to represent them. I believe that your heart is in the right place, but your head is not.
