Nothing sucks worse than punishing many for the sins of the few. Americans should thank James Madison and Thomas Jefferson for the Bill of Rights every morning when they wake up. 2257 tried some of this shit, but so far has been slapped down by the SCOTUS in it's overbroad wording which is nothing more than lots of legal mumbo-jumbo for proxied prior restraint. The government should punish the people doing illegal shit instead of writing new laws to impede free speech. It shouldn't be our responsibility to make anything easier for the government. If that's a responsibility you want to take on, by all means do. But legislating it is wrong and does little but provide roadblocks to citizens who have a constitutional right to express themselves within community standards. Austrailians should demand freedom of expression and freedom from prior restraint, or kick the politicians out of office until you get it.
