Re: [Bug-gne]the problem of illegal content vs. freedom

->However, GNE could take proactive action and specifically ask the agencies 
->or departments in various countries to "check" the articles for legality. 
->These government-controlled agencies could then decide, based on the article 
->content:
->  -illegal/legal to host in servers located in this country.
->  -illegal/legal to display on browser viewed by a citizen of this country.
->

But if we reject illegal stuff from some countries, we would run the risk
of just filtering out a lot of other stuff - e.g. a lot of stuff about
democracy because it might be not viewed in China.

I was just thinking of an authorization system: authorized articles aren't
edited unauthorized articles are edited. authorization by sth. like gpg.
But that lead me only to the problem in another shape: then we would have
to edit the articles that are not authorized - and we would have the same
problems. I just mention it now, because perhaps somebody has a better
idea.

BTW. even linking might be illegal.

my head starts smoking now -
