    While I think everyone gets the whole argument about restrained interference with our expression rights to deal with receiving unwanted messages, the words "restrained" and "government" can't sit in the same sentence, ever. Any mechanism put in place for a noble purpose with the possibility of extension for other purposes will always be abused. When the UK government had ISPs implement blocking of child porn, everyone nodded and said how good it was and no-one who shouldn't already have been seeking mental health assistance noticed it. When Big Media pointed out that this existing solution could also be used to prevent copyright infringement at minimal expense, everyone pounded their heads into the desk and started wondering how we fell for the ol' "think of the children" line again and failed to see this coming in the long game.

    Nonsense. I know they are few and far between, but some people actually have brains and are not completely and utterly ignorant of history. Plenty of perfectly intelligent people realize that censorship will inevitably be abused, based on simple historical evidence.
