If they were going to beat this through the legislative process, it would have happened already. It's only a matter of time until the other "free" nations implement the same filtering, using whichever bogeyman is conveniently in vogue.
We need new protocols, designed such that politically unpopular traffic is indistinguishable from "normal use". We need an overlay network that allows entry into the cloud at a myriad of points, defeating network analysis and routing black holes. We need a secure naming system that prevents addresses from being arbitrarily removed by a third party. And we need to make these capabilities seamlessly available to common users who may not even be seeking them out - so that the idea that they're looking at "censored information" doesn't even cross their minds.
Hackers write code that creates internet reality. Get to it!
You have to create something of utility that would need something like this in the first place. Until it has enough utility, it work get popularized and it wont catch on. Look at the bit-torrent crypto arms-race between government and clients. Actually, something like an extended bit torrent would be the thing that would catch on.
Oh, completely. There's already designs and implementations of such things, but unless they're coupled with a useful service, they're not going to see adoption.
The internet has been relatively unencumbered so far. Now that the governments are taking notice and looking to censor it, the demand for useful services based on privacy is only going to grow.
