    Ireland may be joining repressive regimes North Korea, China and Iran by censoring the Internet for law-abiding citizens.

    According to a report in The Irish Times, the government has been in extensive private discussions on the possibility of blocking access to certain Web sites and domains. The government hopes these filters could serve a range of uses, from blocking filesharing sites to trying to tackle cybercrime and terrorism.
