I can see it going badly, not saying it will.

Many times people and groups have tried to censor the internet but the government,I.e. senators and congressmen have not allowed too much control over the net. Due to their electoral constituents voicing against it.

But I can see a group or a panel who are not elected doing whatever "they feel" is best for everyone and let the censorship begin.

That's like 6 months or so ago there was talk about not allowing anything to do with home gunsmithing/building to be censored and pulled off line including all plans, blue prints etc. as is illegal in some countries but too much pressure against it and it was forgotten, the white house was all for it.

Now that a international panel is going to control the net will they decide to censor it? I could easily see that happen. Just like some Asian countries censor what's allowed to be viewed by their citizens.

It's coming, just hard to say when, a day where general internet access is decided by a "panel" on what you can see. And it, like a lot of media outlets will become a puppet of what those in charge want you to see and believe...

Only here to annoy...
