I will give you the benefit of the doubt of a single person globablly. 1/global population is very different to 1/5. If you want more than that you'll have to provide some sort of evidence.
So when the US set it up, all the terrorists need to do to shut down the whole country's economy is to score a few bot-nets and attack the key infrastructure? So who's not thinking things through?

They should just block all Google services in Italy. Replace Google with a page that just says "due to recent decisions of Italian courts, Google find operating in Italy too expensive." Leave it a week and see what happens.

Yes, I am well aware of Australian history. The English sent its overflow of convicts to an island paradise, realised their mistake and many of them moved here themselves. Lots of immigration too.

The problem with this is that he's not actually in the US and the world is watching. Even if the US is ok with looking bad by making up charges, Sweden also has to be ok with looking bad. They have to make up something that will stand up to scrutiny.
I think it's not so much a stupid censorship policy as it is a stupid classification policy. If they had game classifications matching film classifications then it wouldn't be an issue.
I'm sorry, maybe I'm just not seeing it but other than being rectangles and having the words: peanut butter milk chocolate on them are there ANY similarities?

You may also rest assured that Ballarat is far from a hub of academic research. The best and brightest migrate to Melbourne.
