This is stupid to such a level you should delete your account immediately. How exactly could optional ISP filters possibly ever target people who know about computers to any reasonable degree.
It won't be applied nationally, and you're busy predicting the future when you don't even understand the present.

- hahainternet 13y agoIf someone posts nonsense, then no possible response can ever be seen as non-insulting. What was posted was grade A total nonsense. So I can't see how I can tell the poster this without being insulting.
- ihsw 13y agoPlease don't get confused, I'm referring to normal people rather than the technologically adept. Is it so difficult to acknowledge that the blow-back from Snowden's documents would've been diminished had the news been prevented from reaching normal people? The nations look at China and see a populace that is pacified whom dare not speak against the government, and they see the Great Firewall as something to marvel in its pervasiveness. America's rivalry is turning to jealousy, and they see themselves as hindered by policies that China is unaffected by (free speech, freedom of association, etc).
