The Internet has no national borders

And politicians in the US and UK, who want to bring in legislation on the principle that it has, ought to get real on that issue!

The fact that you have an Internet Service Provider based in your own country does not mean that you cannot find one which will allow you access from somewhere else. And the people whom the legislation is meant to stop will very likely find such an outlet.

Which makes it all the more ridiculous frankly.

There should be international cooperation on what should and should not be allowed on the Web, no question. Does anyone anywhere in the world want to watch "entertainment" involving people being chopped up with machetes or chain saws? Live?

I would hope not.

Or women being forcibly raped? Live?

I would absolutely hope not.

But simply trying to bring in national legislation with a total disregard to what happens elsewhere is not only silly (and reeks of the silly nationalism that is a growing objective for many idiot groups in different parts of the world), it is also very likely unworkable given the medium involved.
