> Internet extends long arm of the law
Even though I disagree with c*nsorship, I think
it's time to deal with the Internationalization
of the Internet.
If an imaginary country xx has a law that subject
yyyy if offensive to its law, this country has
the right to ban all sites from other countries
that promote yyyy.
Since this might be impossible, the only practical
solution would be for country xx to negotiate with
each other country zz, so that all sites that
are hosted in zz and include yyyy material should
have it clearly marked - therefore, country xx
would *only* block zz's sites with yyy material.
So, country zz would be faced with two alternatives:
either make it illegal _in zz_ all sites with
yyyy material that don't clearly mark it, or be
totally filtered out from xx's users.
I don't think any of these two options are reducing
the freedom of zz's citizens.
[[if xx = Brazil, then yyyy = child pornography,
drug apology, racism, etc]]
