Canadian MP Calls For ISP Licenses, Content Blocks

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the fun-time-over dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A member of Canada's ruling Conservative party has pledged to "clean up" the Internet with new bill that would mandate ISP licensing, know-your-subscriber rules, and allow the government to order ISPs to block content. ISPs that fail to block would faces possible jail time for the company's directors and officers."
