Maybe, but that can become a tough game. For example, look at the recent takedowns of 70+ .com domain names. The US Government made a decision for the whole world what content is okay. Yes, we can keep routing around the damage. But as governments become gutsier about how they take content down, they may successfully censor content for 99% of the Internet users.
The rest of us - the nerds - will always be able to overcome any censorship that is imposed. But the masses may not follow our tricks; maybe it's too much trouble for them or they just don't care enough. Either way, it's bad news.
