You Can't Regulate the Internet

Senator Stephen Conroy - the cluebie trying to impose filtering/censorship on the Internet in Australia, spoke this morning on ABC Radio National Breakfast, hosted by Fran Kelly. The context of the discussion was IPTV and how it might effect Australian content regulations, so I admit the context is not specifically in regards to internet filtering, the interesting sound bite is "You can't regulate the internet"...if you can't regulate the internet in terms of IPTV, how can you regulate it in terms of anything else?

Can we place a filter over Conroy's mouth?? That site is very dangerous to kids and should be on the blacklist too
