Given the different rules in different countries censorship is a fairly absurd concept on the ‘Net. If you can’t say something because of British law, Jams, you know that it will still ‘appear’ elsewhere, on a site that isn’t subject to those laws. Wiki-Leaks makes that point rather bluntly.

If countries want to play Whac-a-Mole trying to shutdown sites that offend them, let them prove their skill. It is the sort of thing that stirs up the dust in the darkest depths of the ‘Net and brings out the creative energies of a lot of IT people.

Considering how quickly controversial material spreads virally on the Web, I can’t imagine how the censors think they are accomplishing anything anyway.
