no, the article talks about china blocking sites via firewall, IMO thats wrong i dont see regulation of the internet as a step forward, its a step back.

the internet if used correctly is a good resource for people of all ages, to create a 'firewall' in blicking content can also go against the freedoms of expression, i can see countries blocking sites because the goveernments do not agree with the authors train of thoughts.

as everyone has pointed out the knee jerk reactions are just scaremongering to people who will jump at the chance to go against the information highway.
