Image via Wikipedia Domain .xxx sejatinya sudah ditempatkan Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) untuk diisi oleh situs-situs berkonten dewasa. Namun lantaran mengusung azas tak asal blokir, Kementerian Komunikasi dan Informatika (Kominfo) tak ingin serta-merta memblokir seluruh domain .xxx nantinya. Gatot S. Dewa Broto, Kepala Pusat Informasi Kementerian Kominfo mengatakan, selama ini pihaknya selalu berupaya untuk melakukan pemblokiran secara cerdik dalam menghadang konten-konten pornografi di ranah internet Indonesia . Hal ini pun juga disampaikan kepada para penyedia jasa internet ( ISP ) yang berperan dalam melakukan filtering konten porno. "Sebab kita tidak ingin situs yang bermuatan positif cuma di dalamnya terdapat kata -kata yang berkonotasi negatif itu ikut terblokir. Jadi kami coba lakukan pemblokiran secara cerdik," jelas Gatot.

Some instances of Internet outages caused by hijacked traffic, as listed by the Department of Homeland Security and other sources: April 1997: MAI Network Services, an Internet service provider in Virginia, passes bad routing information to Sprint, which relays it, causing widespread outages.

April 2001: Global Internet carrier Flag Telecom hijacks routes. December 2004: Turk Telekom, a Turkish ISP, hijacks much of the Internet on Christmas Eve.

FBI Director Robert Mueller wants ISPs to track “origin and destination information” about their customers’ browsing habits and store them for authorities’ use for two years, according to a CNET report. That would mean monitoring the IP addresses, domains and exact websites users visit, and then storing that information for months. If officials who support this measure get their way, federal, state and local law enforcement would be able to access the information via search warrant or subpoena. Access to exact URLs would require deep-packet inspection, which could be a violation of the Wiretap Act. The courts would end up having to make a ruling one way or the other if authorities try it.
