Any system to erase all users ability to visit a Web site would be a breach of security. Someone could then shut down the entire internet. Every packet, byte and bit between any two points from a central location. Sounds like the plan maybe 6 months ago with the whole "internet off switch" legislation. The govt is just itching to put a shocky collar around tcp/IP. Its about gaining a foothold to tax the bytes between devices.
I demand that the freedom of bytes to travel down an internet connection should be as free as my freedom to shout any word I want from my front yard. A police officer may arrest me, fine. the officer stops the offending person, not the offending ideas.
