The home secretary said it would be possible to "learn lessons" about removing offensive material which was placed online.

The government would consider "how you can filter out content, how you can work with internet service providers, how you can work internationally to get illegal stuff off the internet", she told BBC News 24.

"It will be difficult but we're determined, working with partners, to get rid of it."

China, you say?

Yes, there is the whole issue of 'how'.

Obviously t'govt can only take action with a UK ISP as it stands.

Exactly what I thought when I heard about it! Unless you go down the China route it's impossible to do.

I new someone once who ran a mildly dodgy business and he used a hosting company in the far east somewhere. They allowed payment by all sorts of means including weapons! I cant see our government closing them down, or getting customer details from them.

Is it only a matter of time...

...before proposed legislation like this (If implemented) widens to include sites hosting 'anti-establishment' opinions and 'alternative', dissenting news?

Could it be the thin end of a wedge or are we in conspiracy land again?
