New internet laws articles 11 & 13

Rules for the sake of rules, bureaucracy at its most typical. It'll backfire as always. Things like ToR (the onion router) aren't particularly popular at the mo, they're often used by privacy advocates but more and more will turn to them as they find regular sites they've used for years suddenly unavailable.

Unfortunately they're also used by the least desirable elements of society to access the "dark net" and popularising them will only make that problem worse but what are folks supposed to do? If left unchecked the bureaucrats will limit the internet to "approved" sites only and give themselves a pat on the back for doing it.
