Wow that's an unexpected statement coming from the CEO of a major security firm. It's obviously extremely uninformed with respect to the nature of the internet, and more broadly, information dissemination. The gating issue isn't the expense or bureaucracy, but the fact that there's a market for information and if you make the web boring it will go elsewhere. We have the technology now -- or rather, the knowledge to build the technology -- and there's no other way it could go. Makes me nervous about Kaspersky's approach to security. In fairness, the view proposed in the OP is probably not exactly what he meant, and his view of IT is colored by spending his time immersed in the technological underworld and its machinations. It's probably understandable to wish for order when all you see are viruses and botnets emerging from third world countries daily, but it still doesn't nearly excuse promoting the concept of "internet police," even if they were at all plausible from an implementation point of view.
