I know it already... There is a tool in Debian, which can filter
URL's and contents, but do not remember the name of it.

And if I think, there are some governement which like to force ISPs
to install such filters on there (small) Backbones...
So, right, it is not possibel to controll the whole Internet traffic
on a STM-64 with its 10 GBit/Second, but if governements force 1000
ISPs to filter it on there E3, OC-3/STM-1 or STM-4 then it will be
possibel.
Hell, which thought...
We will have in each country 100, 1000, ...
big brothers which are watching us!
