Yes. The problem is that, once the ability exists to nuke whatever you consider to be illegal, someone else will use it to nuke stuff that you like.

If every country could impose its standards on the Internet, there'd be no Internet. It's only worked so far because the US has strong free speech rights, and has dominated.

And at the same time my ISP cares less and censors less here in Eastern Europe... :P You will most likely not get a letter for downloading movies, games, and so forth.

Good point.

I was thinking China, India, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, etc.

But then, in the EU, you have the Right to be Forgotten ;)
