The entertainment industries' copyright lobby supports an LEWP proposal to introduce Europe-wide firewall to censor and block ‘illicit’ websites: The Pirate Bay team is rallying public support to defend the free Internet and end this threat : worldnews
US And EU Nations In Secret Talks To Implement “Great Firewall Of Europe” To Censor Internet Just Like China |
Member nations of the European Union are in secret talks, which include the United States, to implement a “Great Firewall Of Europe” which will block and censor online content to all nations in Europe. The proposal is very similar to the China firewall which blocks access to blogs, social networking sites and all foreign news websites that publish anything that contradicts official state sponsored propaganda. We are tipped off with a post by Glyn Moody :

La guerre des Internets a commencé
En février dernier, un groupe de députés européens baptisé LEWP (Law Enforcement Working Party) a commencé à travailler en secret sur un projet de loi [PDF] dont l'objectif est de mettre en place un grand firewall européen . Soutenus par les lobbies américains, ce projet de loi aura pour but d' exclure d'Europe certains sites internet considérés comme illégaux. Tous les FAI devront alors se plier à cette loi et appliquer ce filtrage Européen.The Pirate Bay déclare la guerre des Internets en Europe
L'Union européenne va-t-elle se doter elle aussi d'une sorte de grande muraille numérique, à l'image de celle ceinturant et censurant l'Internet en Chine ?
Les attaques aux libertés numériques sont légion. En France, on en parle même plus tellement ça devient lassant… et il va falloir tenir encore au moins un an. Le soucis d’aujourd’hui est européen.

Broadband providers say that illegal content should be removed at the source by cooperation between police and web hosting firms because network blocking can easily be circumvented.
Alarm over EU 'Great Firewall' proposal - Telegraph
A possible plan by the EU published this week to create a 'single secure European cyberspace' by blocking 'illicit content' has come under attack by civil liberties groups who say it would lead to censorship. Considerations by the European Union to create a more "secure European cyberspace" by requiring ISPs to block "illicit content" have come under attack from anti-censorship groups, who compare the plan to China's system for controlling citizen's online access. "It's a bad idea, opening the floodgates to a lot of restrictions on what people can and cannot see on the Internet," said Jim Killock, executive director of the UK-based Open Rights Group, told Deutsche Welle.

Europe's 'single secure cyberspace' plan under attack - Computerworld
IDG News Service - European Union plans to "create a single secure cyberspace" have come under fire from civil liberties groups, with many saying that they only serve to highlight how far the bloc still has to go in understanding the modern online world. In February, at a secret meeting of the Council of the European Union's Law Enforcement Work Party (LEWP), politicians discussed plans to create a "virtual Schengen border" (the Schengen area is the common passport area within the E.U.) with ISPs required to block "illicit content" from outside the area. The Council of the European Union is the E.U.'
I suppose it was only a matter of time before the EUSSR got around to considering this one : Broadband providers have voiced alarm over an EU proposal to create a “Great Firewall of Europe” by blocking “illicit” web material at the borders of the bloc.
The Great (fire)Wall of Europe. | The Waspsnest
I am staggered by the cluelessness of some politicians [. pdf ]: The Presidency of the LEWP [Law Enforcement Working Party] presented its intention to propose concrete measures towards creating a single secure European cyberspace with a certain "virtual Schengen border" and "virtual access points" whereby the Internet Service Providers (ISP) would block illicit contents on the basis of the EU "black-list".
