I remember a Playboy article on what happened when someone tried following the monkey in regards to child porn. Its been a long time since I've read it, but from what I remember the author reached the conclusion that the US government was actually the biggest supplier of child porn thanks to all the federal agents posing as suppliers. This was decades before the modern internet, though, so things might or might not have changed.

As to these efforts in general:
Of course, that wouldn't be the point if your real aim is to gain control over the ISPs
that provide for establishing all sorts of sites, for your own purposes.

I'm still not convinced that this isn't a super-pac setup. Fund a politician's campaign, then tell him that he has to stay bought by introducing various pieces of legislation which will demonize the government in the court of public opinion. That sparks public outrage and sympathy for small government politicians, who are also in a super-pac's pocket...
