ISP DNS USA TLAin response to one lawschoolblues can US block an IP address from the whole country? could all ISP's cut off a particular IP address? The closest thing currently to blocking on a massive scale like your talking about is what happened in china. There was a great panel on How it all works and how it is circumvented that I saw at The Fifth H.O.P.E. that you can stream or download "How the Great Firewall Works L China currently puts in the most effort to censor information on the Internet. Bill was first involved in freenet-china and started DynaWeb in 2002. He has developed a thorough understanding of China's Internet censorship technology ranging from IP blocking to DNS hijacking etc. Various techniques have been implemented to get around them. There will be an explanation of a censorship algorithm never before publicly released as well as a live demo on how it works. Time permitting, an analysis of how the Chinese government uses information control on its people will also be presented." but i'm sure with the right words or backers you could convince the government to modify there existing isp boxes to add somthing that they would think would work or just convince the government that it all could be done thru the existing DNS system. Most of the people in places of power Judges, Congress,exc. Dont have the passion or time to know any better. People are unhinged in learning that most all of it is "security theater" rather than the myth security. for example why have plastic knives on airplanes if your gonna give me a metal fork and do you know how to open your door non destructivly without a key? theres 100's of hours of audio and video on all this stuff linked from 2600 for the latest news check out hackwire and the wikimedia projects
