Re: child pornography, it's already illegal. You can't be in possession of it or be caught looking at it. So how is it the end of the world if they block it at the source? They'd arrest the dealers if they could, but it's the internet, so they can't.

I know, I know, I get the slippery slope argument. But if we took that to its logical conclusion we would never make any laws at all. Everything "could be extended" beyond the measure of its original intent. Hopefully there are counter-measures in place--like, say, a democratic process--that would allow the population to change things if it goes too far.

Call me a fascist, but I don't have a problem with this.
