this could have more widespread implications if they pass a law that can force a company (google etc) to filter searches like "this movie title torrent" then what else could they censor

lol. Censoring the internet is a fool's errand.

There's been rumblings like this before anyway. Hopefully it'll just silently go away.

'Twitter and Google reject UK calls for censorship'

I laughed hard at: "The Attorney General should be more willing to bring actions for civil contempt of court in respect of injunctions being breached online". The number of British Twitter users naming Ryan Giggs during his super-injunction was in the thousands. The idea of each and every one of them being bought to court is hilarious.
