Just like a knife, this tool can be used for many purposes - some of which are good, some of which are evil.

I agree that blocking access to a news website would not be a good idea.

But protecting against Russian hackers? Good idea.

This gimmick is like planting flowers and somehow thinking they'll deter a burglar.
