        If it wasn’t for the level of utter incompetence and technophobia that politicians seem to radiate I would have genuinely bought into this idea. But there’s no way they would actually be bright enough to work a scheme like this out.

          I don’t actually buy into the idea, but to play devil’s advocate a little more, the politicians don’t need to “be bright enough to work a scheme like this out”. The vpn industry lobbyists just need to tell them “hey it’d be really great if you banned porn: here’s a bill we wrote that you could use”, and then the pollies just need to go “yeah, sounds good.”
