But it would appear that in some countries there are police to control the internet (but not enforce the RFCs). QUOTE November 27th, 2010 Nominet Plans to Let Police Control UK Internet Nominet – the quasi-private entity which controls the .uk part of the internet - plans to allow the police to take down any website without recourse to the Courts. This is at the request of the Serious Organised Crime Agency. UNQUOTE which has become de facto policy QUOTE UK Domain Seizures: Nominet Admits It's Helped Police Seize 3,000 Sites While we've been mostly focused on US-based domain name seizures and attempts to expand them using something like COICA, we've also noted that similar issues are being discussed in the UK, where Nominet has now admitted that it's helped police seize about 3,000 domains based simply upon a request from law enforcement. Unlike the US, there isn't even a formal process with a judge rubber stamping the requests. Instead, the police ask, and Nominet is compelled to suspend the domain. In fact, some law enforcement officials are claiming that if Nominet refused their requests, then it would automatically become liable. In other words, police have a fantastic tool for censorship of any website if they want to use it that way. UNQUOTE Welcome to the Internet controlled police state.
