If someone in another country where there are no laws governing what is done online decides to stalk you, steal your identity, slander and smear you, and harass you with threats, there is currently next to nothing you can do to prevent it, or bring them to justice. How is wanting to fix that issue censorship or related to things like the Patriot Bill?

Let's say that a country makes it illegal for men to show their bare chest, even in a virtual world. I'm assuming you'd be perfectly ok with being put into jail for wanting to be a topless Roegadyn? Just because we don't like something, doesn't mean that we should go around making things illegal. Heck, I'd make it illegal for people to play Hyur because they're so boring.

You'd be surprised what is illegal or legal in other countries, that is why we have international agreements on law enforcement to ensure that situations like you describe do not come to pass.

Ah well, I guess you'd rather nothing be done, I shall never understand people content to sit on their hands when something needs to be done.
