Meanwhile in the UK...

Culture minister Andy Burnham wants to rate everything on the web. Yeah, that's a really good idea. Google has said that the web hit one trillion URLs this year, with several billion more added each day.

Here's the kicker:
"If you look back at the people who created the Internet they talked very deliberately about creating a space that governments couldn't reach," Burnham told The Telegraph. "I think we are having to revisit that stuff seriously now."

He said some content should not be available to be viewed. "This is not a campaign against free speech, far from it; it is simply there is a wider public interest at stake when it involves harm to other people. We have got to get better at defining where the public interest lies and being clear about it." [Emphasis added]
Cognitive dissonance anyone?

Oh and he wants to negotiate with Obama to bring it to the US too.

Link.
