Taxation
Taxing online transactions that would have been taxed in offline cases
seems rational. Issue: erosion of income as transactions move online
Fair playing field for online and offline competitors
Issue: basis for tax (nexus, location of parties and service delivery, who
collects?)
Censorship
Increasing attempts by countries, states/provinces to censor Internet
through court orders to ISPs
Technologically flawed model
Extra-territoriality
Cannot "censor" at domain name or URL level unless you control server
"black-holing" IP address is a blunt instrument
