Yep, that's the core of the problem(s).

My 2 cent is that it's a framework to start to control the internet. My guess is that if they do pass such a law, you're going to have some chapters written in very small characters to suggest the possibility of restricting other kinds of websites. It can never hurt to set a precendent can it?

What a fucking hypocrite you are.
If that happened in the United States you'd be in here screaming at the top of your lungs that it's a violation of the the 1st amendment.

Or better yet a dedicated public service which will collect the data about citizens visiting those "unwanted" and "harmful" pages. So you can forget your job application with state as your employer.

All being seen before in some different regimes, the only thing different is technology.

Makes me puke.
