The big problem with doing what China does is it can actually force people to find ways around and force them undergroundThere can be stuff set in place that internet providers can put onto their user's internet. It's not entirely foolproof, but I know in China they have things set in place where you cannot go to certain websites, etc. I guess it all starts at the root of everything: the internet providers
Kind of like TOR and the dark net, you are saying? People still sell drugs and (very rarely) order hitmen through the dark net. There's ways around the government's moderation.
Yeah exactly. Threre will be 100s of silk road like sites we will never here of. The government obviously should try and tackle criminal activity online but i dont think the government and organisations are really that up to date with the internet.

It seems like the raid the official silk road once a year and it always comes back haha. People will always find ways to evade.
Oh it definitely does, which is why the IP hider is so common because really the thing that internet providers do is they cap and restrict with using IP address based in China, so when you're hiding IPs, it's easier to go under radar.
I don't think it's possible to regulate what's already here as such, however a law could be passed about all new websites must be passed through the government, any edits must be, etc. Whether we should do that or not is an entirely different question - Trump would probably agree with invading others' privacy, but accuses Obama of wiring his phone with no proof and gets annoyed his privacy is invaded.
just here to be political considering there's been a pretty one-sided viewpoint on here for a couple of years x
Would never happen as it would clash with freedom of speech e.g. they could easily simply deny a website that critisised the governmentI don't think it's possible to regulate what's already here as such, however a law could be passed about all new websites must be passed through the government, any edits must be, etc. Whether we should do that or not is an entirely different question - Trump would probably agree with invading others' privacy, but accuses Obama of wiring his phone with no proof and gets annoyed his privacy is invaded.

Agreed but at least in the US we do have limitations to freedom of speech. For instance you cannot threaten to kill the president. You're going to be thrown in prison or interrogated (if you're not a politician).
