Yes. It is a pic that I found amusing and thought relevant.

Although the original idea of the pic was to mock the French government's plans to forcibly make the internet a civilized place free of crime and degenerate behavior. Truth is I didn't read the whole article, but assume this is just one of the many backlashes as tech changes the rules and the system tries to adapt. Often by panic and then forcibly trying to fit the tech into certain roles after it has been let loose. As appose to everyone agreeing on how to use the stuff before letting it loose. People laugh at such idealism, but history has shown pre-made social stigma works surprisingly well.

Imagine if rules and social norms against internet pornography where in place before the internet came around, due to the public talking about what it could be in the future. Sadly even science fiction, the last bastille of future social discussion is eroding into alarmist fear mongering for better rating. It use to be such things would show the mix of the good and the bad to get people thinking and talking. But many of the newer things I see either show it as pure doom or a fake utopia hiding doom, which involves far less thinking on the part of the viewer.
