UK ministers will order ISPs to block terrorist and extremist websites

http://j.mp/1fMvofe  (Guardian)

   "The government is to order broadband companies to block extremist
    websites and empower a specialist unit to identify and report content
    deemed too dangerous for online publication.  The crime and security
    minister, James Brokenshire, said on Wednesday that measures for
    censoring extremist content would be announced shortly. The initiative
    is likely to be controversial, with broadband companies already
    warning that freedom of speech could be compromised."

Maybe also try block sites of political critics? No matter, a thousand
proxies will bloom, for good or ill. That's the reality, like it or
not.
