        thats a nice, vague, and non-supportable message that is phrased to generate
        anger.  which web sites, what web proxies, and which orgin IP addresses are in question

        the brief answer is - lots of people. ISPs, Telecoms companies, Government censors
        and regulators, your content providers, access providers (the Internet cafe), and your
        parents.
