If you think sensibly and ask yourself "Should the Internet be censored?" There really is only one answer. Yes.

It's something that allows anyone to put up anything on. Not just information but libel, incitement to violence, hate, prejudice and lies, kids can beat tramps and sell membership to the content, or beat up fellow kids and pt it on Youtube. And this is just part of it. 15 year old's can have sex and put it online, one adult can put a movie online he secretly took of a lover, not touching the pictures of underage kids nude or unsuspecting adults seeing their pictures they they thought were private come into the public domain.

And if I need to repeat all the illegal stuff that could be flooding the Internet with no censorship, I would be hear all night.

Just a very tiny proportion of this type of content that some want legalised, gets into offline publications and the publishers get found and hit hard usually. A non censored Internet is a crazy idea. If you think sensibly.
