Is 4chan the perfect Pirate Bay poster child to justify wider UK site-blocking?

The free internet might be gone in the next decade. Probably time to buy a few hard drives and do some archiving. I don't just mean piracy. Articles, blogs, anything you find precious.

This has been brewing for years. The international network will not survive multiple independent governments all attempting to impose their own laws on it. It's bound to fracture into several regional networks with heavy filtering at the borders.

I am glad to have known the true internet before its demise. Truly one of the wonders of humanity.

That's my suspicion. An internet governed to the least common cultural and legal denominator will be bland, boring, and useless.
