They won't do that because they are stupid ignorant idiots. They don't make a law like that with a purpose in mind, they are filling an excel sheet.

This is dangerously wrong. This is a classic foot-in-the-door law. They test the waters with something nobody can argue against, like piracy, child porn, terrorism. Then the censoring gets broader and broader until you can't access left-wing stuff anymore because it's anti-governmental. There is a very specific, very dangerous purpose in mind.
