I'm certainly not naive enough to think that any human behavior can be stamped out with laws or what have you. I'm just saying that online communication is easier to control by far than e.g. drug trade. It may be that anonymous markets develop. But I think governments have the necessary motivation and resources to keep them extremely marginalized. Enough so that most people will never notice.
If not, then what makes you think that other, more clueful people can be controlled?
It's not about who can be controlled, but what. Sampo Syreeni, aka decoy, mailto:decoy@iki.fi, gsm: +358-50-5756111 student/math+cs/helsinki university, http://www.iki.fi/~decoy/front
