Ditch the big providers and sign up with A&A [1][2]. RevK (Adrian Kennard)[3] doesn't put up with any shit and won't be intimidated by politicians who clearly have no clue as to how the Internet works. They cost a bit more but you get what you pay for.
True, but that's limited in scope. They can't do that to just anything, because it's being done via ICE. It's only limited to copyright violations as they cross over with 'counterfeit goods.'
To be fair the US seizes the domain names that it has access to. You won't see ICE seizing .cn domains. It just happens that the most popular domains (.com, .org, .net) are 'local' to the US. China and North Korea don't have the ability to seize those domain names, so we don't know what they would do if they did.
This is increasingly a global problem, not limited to any one country. From what I've observed, most countries are guilty of trampling civil liberties worse by the day, particularly when it comes to censorship and surveillance.
The US, who should be a leader in civil liberties, is inspiring other nations toward copying our abuses (setting a tone of what's acceptable). And we've also been learning from surveillance states like Britain.
The Singapore government does that with pornography here. And I built a chrome extension to bypass it (getgom.com). I'd like to do the same for Australia, anyone have an example of the error page when the firewall kicks in?
There's no blocked page. The outgoing connection just inexplicably dies. The block is based on IP addresses, rather than the hostname or DNS poisoning.

Even China and North Korea don't try to impose their laws on the rest of the world.
