Why stupidity you would ask, well, the internet is too big to be stopped or censored, china here is a very good example of trying and not succeeding, the US is just another example. You may be able to force ISP’s to block access to content but to what extent? Well, it’s just like pissing against the wind, there is always a very simple way to bypass the block and there are always decent programmers that will fight suppression with science and innovation.
What I have a problem understanding is the decision making process, who approves these decisions? Who was the economic advisor that gave the green light? What effects will this have on the market?
Let’s not look at the internet as the super highway of information but look at it as a product, the people in their homes are paying a good amount of money and on a monthly bases just to access the internet and have a good time doing so, based on that fact Telco’s are heavily investing in networks and technology to get that connection to every home and business in the country; what if people based on giving these circumstances stop subscribing to internet services or resorting to other options like subscription sharing, how can these ISP’s justify their investment and effort to improve services when the Government is not helping at all.
This issue is a lot more complicated than what it seems to be and the MOI needs to understand that Idea’s will always be passed by one medium or a 100 others, suppressing these idea’s will not make them disappear and you will never be able to control what you don't uderstand.
I will revisit this in another post or vlog and I think everyone should, and for Sh.May, please leave the internet alone and start working on our appalling TV and radio channels, we really were expecting an improvement in your term.
