and possibly arbitrary.
Only insofar as the law is.
We need this level of censorship? No. What this "charity" should do, is operate in an open manner with appropriate levels of communication with the public it claims to be serving.
It is serving ISPs. And there is quite a high level of communication between it and the ISPs. It talks to the government time to time and has dealings with the media (which for the most part isn't interested).
Big brother is not what we crave. It's what we seek to destroy. It's what we should all seek to destroy.
