When I hear something like "network police", I start drawing parallels to the real world. In the physical world, you generally don't have anonymous people running around (or at least most cases you have a way of linking any actions/crimes committed to a real, permanent identity), disguises aren't allowed, and trespassing is not permitted.
So the Internet could be like this if it was more regulated. Anonymous traffic could be prohibited...no more TOR nodes, no hands-off proxying of traffic, no "it's an open access point, I totally don't know who was creating that torrent traffic".
Would these sorts of laws be accepted, or would they simply result in more attempts to anonymize traffic?
I imagine that this is sort of what things are like in more authoritarian places like China. Is it effective there?
