Except there won't.

Imagine:

1. No third-party browsers.

2. No non-whitelisted sites viewable in the default browser (except maybe in "legacy mode", meaning no scripts, no videos and the browser censors the text.)

3. If you're lucky, there will be an "adult mode", where you can access URLs with adult content (but the "guardians" will be notified of each URL in real-time, along with your name and address. Not the NSA, and not in secret, but one of the filtering companies we know today. And everyone living in the same street as you will get a "Warning! pervert in neighbourhood!" alert.)



1. Not happening 2. Not happening 3. Not happening in your wildest nightmares.

This isn't a cyberpunk movie.


This kind of slippery slope argument is not constructive.
