It's not very conservative to suggest that the internet can be treated like a light switch, or a faucet. Disabling a list of content over the entire internet is no small task, not to mention the costs of establishing a dept to oversee and continuously monitor the effort.

Establishing liquor stores created crown corps in several provinces and created a whole industry in alberta so it definately was costly. Pornograpgy is also restricted in physical stores so its not like this restriction on morality doesnt exist.
If your arguement is a cost thing then its a valid arguement but the main arguement has been against the government deciding morality. The government has always done this and does this with the exact type of media outside of the internet. So I think the arguement that his is a new intrusion by the government is false.
