Resending to the list...and an extra thought...
If censorship rights are managed in more granularity than nationally, perhaps
the neighborhood or subdivision level, it allows variance and differentiation,
including mixed access within an urban setting. The nation must be the union
and membership in associations may carry censorship requirements limiting one's
access by agreement. This sort of approach may be welcomed by those regimes
with real concerns regarding 'westernization' of their media. Countries may
well allow international conference attendees free access while simultaneously
protecting their children from wanting to serve the local warlord rather than
sticking to the local Civil Defense Unit. I believe the idea has merit, perhaps
reducing slaughter.
From the perspective of those exercising active decision, it would be termed
the right to forget, another right to be sure. It's a form of BDS, yes? Quite
effective.
Well I think it would be wonderful if network protocols supported filtering in
both senses: filter reception from certain senders & filter transmission to
certain recipients. I'm thinking of some sort of intersection of
sender/receiver permission volumes specified with N dimensional Voronoi
tessellations in negotiated session state at the routers, managed with
multicast hashes in the traffic headers. One will literally never be in contact
with said troublesome traffic and both foreign and domestic users would have
that censoring/forgetting guarantee.

If you need some articles on these topics, let me know.

Pardon me, do I understanding you to say that it is a basic right for a
local region to censor content? As you put it: "local censorship laws and
other rights", So to establish specific censorships in local areas, this is
a fundamental right of that neighborhood? That is a very shiny idea, very
Millenarianly said.

I would suggest European networks have quite different content than
elsewhere as a result of local censorship laws and other rights afforded to
people in the region.

This surprises me - "this has been a condition placed on hosts...".
it was even in the hour of embarrassing babble fred used to prevent
people from talking about real problems at the bof
Could you enlighten us as to which [and I'll try to be precise here]
other IETFs had a condition where the content accessible by the IETF
network was markedly different from the content of say the network at
a local Starbuck's equivalent wifi hot spot just down the street from
the IETF and where that was mandated by the hosts and/or local laws?
I mean besides Beijing? Key words "markedly different" and "content
accessible".
we don't specify it's 'different'. among other silly distractions, it
would require a 'different from precisely what and in what ways?'
we simply specifiy open and unfettered
I repeat - "where" have the local hosts/laws specified conditions that
resulted in the IETF network content access being markedly different than
that accessible to the random local citizen?
