Granted, it's just in Australia right now. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/111255-Australias-Internet-Filter-Switches-On-In-July
Hell of a precedent, though.
One company has already gotten scared; http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/111282-Hacktivists-Force-Pause-in-Australian-Net-Censorship Being the targets of internet vigilantes such as "Anonymous". A rather insidious bunch but hey, whatever gets people's attention.
I understand the original idea is to filter our Child Pornography, which is a great idea. But where will it end? Perhaps various internet companies feel porn altogether should be blocked. (And hey, even as a woman, I have needs!) Perhaps bad language next! Then all will have to suffer those annoying blocked sites when trying to do research in high school, where ever other source was pretty much blocked because it censors words, with or without context.
I, personally, think that censorship is a good thing, but only on a private level. Those of you shooting down blocker systems, SonicWall Security can block anything, such as wikis on how to get past such systems. There are other systems like this too. They track keystrokes and word combinations to block on an individual search level.

As in my school should block me form accessing certain sites or the government should? You weren't very clear on who exactly is censoring.
