Once in a while, you come across something that's banned.
Some bans are just; the ban on kiddie pr0n, for instance. Or the ban on heroin, or coke; all fine and dandy.
Now for a silly one; Brussels (where the European Parliament resides) feels the need to ban bomb recipes from the 'net, to stall terrorists from making them.
One: I'm very sure (potential) terrorists already have ample information on how to build something nasty; they don't need the web to tell them.
Two: It's useless to ban something from the Internet; the minute you take something down, ten other sites will rise to provide the banned info. It's been done before, and I'm quite sure it will be done again.
