Re: Hmmmm. Maybe no. said by fAcEtIOUs:If they stuck to blocking sites offering up illegal material, I'd have no problem with it. But blocking sites that some pol might not like is venturing in to an area similar to the "Great Firewall of China" - blocking material unliked(but legal) by the admin in power. The same threat exists with blocking "illegal" material. Many things can be called illegal by some line or other of specious reasoning. Trusting a government to be objective and minimal about such a list is like trusting an elephant to not eat much.
On the other hand, if they want to offer opt-in-only block lists and describe them openly, people could make informed decisions for themselves about what, if anything to block.
