Amazing how goverments keep blocking Internet access, when the entire ‘platform’ has nothing to do with them. It isn’t ‘theirs’.

No government should ever, ever, ever even think about censorship of this level for adults EVER.

It’s tantamount to thought police, and it won’t work, there’ll be a backlash.

Governments are going after ISP’s to filter the net all over the place, be it for piracy or censorship. Not that it’ll be entirely practical but this sort of thing will be going on mooted increasingly in the next couple of years.

Its a beautiful place but its things like this that keeps me from living there. Couldn’t pay 100 million dollars to live there. Their rules and censorship are out of hand.

Bunch of mentalists. Makes me kind of proud that the government in the UK has only ever tried to ban 2 games… and failed both times.
