Yea IWF managed to censor an image! People got annoyed when they realized, and demanded it to be taken down. Yes the iternet will route around problems but if there isn't the need it won't.

If the IWF refused or this becomes more common then people will start taking action. Dialup, VPN's, SSH tunneling, Proxies and alternate DNS providers are all in one form or another a soloution to this style of problem, but until the problem becomes bad enought people won't react.

If you want proof that people will react go look up how to access Hulu from out side the US.

All those can be stopped or made difficult enough that most people will not be able to do them. Circumventing the system could also be criminalised.

Blocking DNS (apart from the ISP's own server), blocking known foreign proxies, etc.

united nations believes they already have been given the right to regulate the internet... since they are an 'international body' and an 'international forum' and the internet is 'borderless'. anyway, check out this for more info http://nodollar.info/z/un-tricks-their-sleeves ... The UN must be dissolved, and with more people waking up, the prospects are looking better every-day. - em
