Also, erasing such books would be the equivalent to censorship (cue: comparisons to the burning of the books by the Nazis in the 1930s).

The Nazis did not have to contend with the Internet. I think we may safely assume that technology has made censorship a practical impossibility. If adopted, all this law will do is make the Euros look stupid. IMO.

The internet is actually very easy to control. Since the vast majority of the population goes through only a few major portals, this creates an opportunity to bottle neck certain kinds of information and block out whole series of websites. China does this every day.
