It starts with porn (or what someone deems to be porn, boobies indeed), then it's something else that the government doesn't want you to see (piratebay anyone??), pretty soon you're in a Nanny state internet. Governments of all persuasions have proven over and over again that the "thin end of the wedge" is exactly that and that they will not stop driving it home.
Censorship of the only free of government or media tycoon medium we have should not be allowed. Although most of the stuff on the internet is rubbish, you can at least still get the BBC and Al Jazeera for news coverage etc.
