Too Hard to Lock Down the Internet

Is it possible for any government to choke off the flow of information completely, since it must successfully filter all images, foreign languages, non-domestic servers, and encrypted emails in order to prevent the spread of "lies and disinformation"?

Well you can ask the Chinese government they have been doing it for a while now.

A pleasing question! Additionally a subject that has been probed into for the past few days by myself. Some privy folk might even convey that you best use discretion on what you ask in about issues such as these.

I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.

Impossible to cut it off 100%. Watch what is going on in China between the Chinese government and Google, as this is going to have huge effects for the rest of the world. The government in Iran tried to shut down the Internet as did the government in Burma and they did for a short while, but communication still got out via other means. Bloggers have become far too powerful and I for one am all for it.
