The EU justice minister Franco (How appropriate) Frattini wants to censor searches for words like "bomb", "kill" or "terrorism" within the EU.
We all know the world changed after 9/11 so of course we should all support this. Censoring these words will undoubtedly prevent the worlds terrorists from finding out on Google how to make bombs or commit genocide, and I applaud this wonderful idea.

Oh absolutely. Passing a law making it illegal for criminals to access information just makes a lot of sense. They'd NEVER think of breaking that law somehow would they?

And with issues like this, perhaps we should have one
You're right. It's absurd. First off, it won't work. The cyberpunks were right. Information wants to be free. You can't contain it with bullshit censorship anymore. Second, do they really think that terrorists can ONLY make bombs if they can download a pdf of instructions?
