Internet Sanctions, Boundaries where there were None Before

After a lecture on the filtering of the internet, as practiced mostly by authoritarian or totalitarian countries; I began to consider the virtual sanctions (internet filters) that government and their appointed agents enforce or place over national internet access points. I realised that our governments, constitution and policies on the freedom of an individual in both the public and private spheres is extremely accommodating. I am in no way condoning the approach to which this country is run; for then we must necessarily consider service delivery and cost, policy guidance, and promise achievement. And in this regard, our government not only hangs by the way side, but is on a steady decline to failure. This is a digression however, for the simple reason that this post was not created for the purpose of slandering and criticising the government. But instead, was created for the purpose of demonstrating my point, to the effect that we live in a country of comparatively and relative freedom. If this was not the case, this post would not exist.
