Censorship is one of those really hard social problems. A completely open web will be inundated with spam, pornography and propaganda. A completely gated web will only serve the gatekeepers.

What really solves the problem is a 3rd party gatekeeper composed of "Council of Wise People".(henceforth referred to as gatekeepers). Movie rating board is an example.

This leads to the age old question, "Who will monitor the gatekeepers?"

This leads to democracy, where the gatekeepers only have a 4 year period and new gatekeepers are elected again.

The government should have been the gatekeepers. But turns out, these gatekeepers care more about their own pockets (filled by the same corps they are gatekeeping).

Humans suck :P
