Hi there.


There's one thing I don't understand - how exactly do you *delete* a
website from the Internet? Let's say, somewhere in the net, there is a
website which is illegal in your country, but what if its servers are
located in a different country, where the site is legal? How do you
"delete" it then?

As far as I undestand, the aim of this petition is to prevent
censorship in the form of blocking websites, but the given
argumentation seems to be flawed...
