We all learned as children that to solve many kinds of problems, one may work backwards. In this case is the problem of how to filter the Internet so that our point of view prevails.

The answer is to work backwards. Find some issue - any issue - that will get the public to politically support a censorship infrastructure. They tried and failed with piracy and terrorism. Now they want to use the child pornography issue. If that does not work, I am sure they will think of some other threat that needs to be blocked, such as cyber attacks from enemy nations disguised as Internet content.
