The key problem is that politicians rarely want to take the responsibility for abolishing a law, unless it is from 1900 and concerns lending vacuum cleaners to your neighbour in Colorado, whereas being a sharp 'law and order guy' often helps in getting more voters (mostly thanks to hysteric mass media). Hence, the laws accumulate and are getting broader and broader.

It is obviously not the right way, at least not to people who know how the Internet works. That's what this whole discussion is about.

The right way to deal with objectionable content is to take down the content from the server on which it is stored. Not from search engines. (There are fully distributed search engines, wonder how this nonsensical EU rule works with them.)
