    "Broadband providers have voiced alarm over an EU proposal to create a “Great Firewall of Europe” by blocking “illicit” web material at the borders of the bloc".

    Anti-censorship campaigners compared the plan to China’s notorious system for controlling citizens’ access to blogs, news websites and social networking services.

    In other words the EU may soon be able to block any material / websites / blogs and material that they see deemed as anti European or innapropriate.

    Once again well done to all those that voted yes in the Lisbon Referendum. :mad:

    No but once the Treaty was passed they can more or less do what they fcuking want if they feel that it is in the interests of protecting the interests of Union.

    You use the word "Fascist" then follow it up with "Chinese Style" who are a communist country. Should it not be "Communist Pan European "Chinese Style" Internet Censorship Proposed By The EU"
