The government has no right to interfere in what I surf on the Internet, it has no right to violate my privacy. The result of this blocking of the Internet is that it has slowed down considerably. The more stress is put on this - the effect can be disastrous. General Musharraf tried the same thing the Internet data flow slowed down to a crawl till it crashed. Repairing and reviving the system cost Pakistan billions of dollars. All this window dressing will not save a corrupt government from eventual collapse.

The principle of freedom of speech is also embedded in the Internet's robust architecture. Because of the Internet's robust design, it is impossible to completely block access to information except in very limited and controlled circumstances, such as when blocking access to a specific site from a home computer, or when using a firewall to block certain sites from employees on a workplace network.
