On the other hand, I think the internet is already being censored. I don't know who does it all, but I know some private companies are behind it. Have you ever gotten a message that says "this can't be viewed in your region or country"? I've noticed a lot more of that since I've moved to Japan. Another thing I've noticed is if you look for controversial information right after it's hit the news (or before it's hit the mainstream news), you can find some of it... after a month or so good luck! Stuff dissapears all the time. A lot of websites also do self-censoring (I guess that's what you'd call it). You don't see a bunch of nude videos on youtube for this very reason. Music videos and videos with certain songs get taken down all the time. I think there was a torrent site that was no longer available in America right before I left as well...

We're already being censored... I'd be quite happy if it doesn't go any further than it already has.
