You're probably right, but that doesn't mean it's acceptable or that nothing should be done about it.

Typical nonsense from those who have no technical knowledge and still live in a pre internet age
The talk did make some rather bold claims, I don't know much about the technical aspects, but at a guess maybe they will block any offending sites in the UK.
