The Government has misgivings about the uncontrolled information flow on the Internet. This is clearly an attempt at making it more difficult in the future to operate websites like P&CA. If no such websites were to exist ... then the Government could spread lies even more easily and more successfully.

Thanks Pathetic for sharing this article with us.
