EU is going down an interesting path; internet censorship.
The proposed "Telecoms Package" allows users to only view the websites included in their package. How limiting this will be is not in my knowledge, but ultimately it's a marathon backwards and fights against EU's own laws. EU is trying to be a "Big Brother", but it will backfire so badly that it's not even funny, mark my words.
Internet is full of useless information but people want to have their freedom and view that useless information as they like. People want to have their silly communes focused on their hobbies, people want to read silly underground webcomics, people want to be free!
The first stage of this proposal got easily over 50% of votes, so it's likely going to happen, setting it all up if it does go through is another story however.
