Se o servidor não está dentro do país com a lei idiota, não podem fazer nada. Se querem vigiar os sites que cada um visita, a questão já é outra. Governos como o da Inglaterra e Estados Unidos tem planos nesse sentido, mas é coisa obscura e por baixo dos panos, não definido por legislação. Mas, mesmo nesse caso, ainda tem um zilhão de opções de navegar sem deixar rastro. Se na China tem gente fazendo o que quer, imagina um país como o Brasil, de raiz democrática e liberal. Acho muito difícil uma bobagem dessas passar. E se passar, como passou outra lei idiota, aquela de proíbe beber antes de dirigir, o único que vão conseguir é uma bela lei impossível de ser fiscalizada. Quem ganha com esse tipo de bobagem são os legisladores, que fazem de conta que trabalham sem precisar se sujar as mãos com trabalho de verdade (leia-se leis que representem mudanças reais).

It's a massive change, and it demands huge and coordinated efforts from all layers of society. But we need to start. Let's avoid being stupid consumers and let's to focus our time, our money and our efforts on something that's sustainable, smart, human. If you think well, the new generation is in part doing this, switching off the TV and shifting its time to a smarter, community-building tool as Internet. I have a dream ;-) Cheers, Francesco Greg,

The point is not just whether the Catalan will die or not, the point is how the Catalan will evolve as a spoken language, how much will mix with Spanish, how many millions people in, let's say, 2 or 3 generations, will speak Catalan as a first language. For sure Spanglish is a reference, but this is something related to immigrants, it doesn't apply to well established populations as the Catalans. Jebreel,

Failing to do that and assist goverment to enforce local competitors to do the same, will bring chances of a sustainable development very close to zero.
