So apparently there's plans to set up this system where they'll block sites on a blacklist, akin to China. Pros and Cons I suppose, but it *is* censorship..
Stop letting old men who don't use the internet dictate how the newer generation should use it.
We were going to get one too but they never went ahead with it. Don't sweat it, the cons outweigh the pros.

They tried to do ISP filtering in Australia and once the nerds told them they were retarded they quietly put the idea back on the shelf.

lol

But yeah, I don't really care, I could just go all proxy or something.
It's the European Union proposing this. Does anything proposed by the European Union ever pass through nowadays, aside of the euro?

Don't think so.

All the countries do is that when the EU proposes something, they ask all its members to sign it. That's all they do.

Blacklists = fail. This is exactly like China. People can do whatever they want on the Internet, there will always be a way to bypass these censorship techniques.

Yep, but luckily there's always a country such as Ireland who disagrees with the treaty. Causing the whole proposal to fall apart.

Long live that one treaty where it said that every single nation of the EU needs to agree with any treaty being signed.
