and that has no possiblity of censoring the internet
i have just shown you how legitimate business (like microsoft, etc) can argue against such a change in the law, how likely do you think it will pass when they start arguing how unreasonable it is.
don't forget the people hit hardest by that kind of changes like google and major telco.
