Just wanted to comment on this particular point; that was *not*
the result of the questionnaire, it was the result of *one*

Other questions concerning eg. the government determining whether
a website is appropriate for you to visit, or use of the filter
to restrict free speech or block other forms of website content
they don’t approve of received significantly less approval.
