> Those ICRs effectively serve as a full list of every website that people have visited, not collecting which specific pages are visited or what's done on them but serving as a full list of every site that someone has visited and when.
So running search engine crawlers like yacy or using browser link prefetchers, could cause sites to appear on this list, you haven't even visited?
Even if you don't use that, you have to investigate every link and external site resource, if it points to a domain/site that also hosts illegal stuff? And how do I do that? Using VPN?
Also content and owner of sites change. I can't imagine such "prove" holding up against a good lawyer in a fair court.
What exactly are they logging? IP addresses, reverse domain names, dns lookups?
They just should provide a white list of sites the lawful citizens are allowed to visit. That would make things much easier and safer for everyone. And the government exists to keep the citizen safe, isn't it?

That will be the ultimate end game: whitelist of sites, all of them large companies controlled by the government. Either do what we require or be eliminated from the list. Even VPNs only work if the connection to the VPN is permitted.
