  No. It's really not. The technical puzzle pieces are all there and well understood. Anyone who can amass the political power could get it done. Done fast or done slowly might require differing amounts of power.

    Ad tracking technology is in no way related to wide spread blocking of internet content. Those are completely separate. To filter the internet you don't need to know the browsing or shopping habits of a single individual. I fail to see the connection at all.

      You can effectively achieve something indifferent from censorship just by ranking, either search results, feed items or what have you.

        Then you also need to block services, that do better ranking.
