How about separating issues according to the objectives, like the following:

* The spam problem
  - Problems caused by undesired automated communications
  - Undesired side-effects of spam filters
  - Strategies for improving the situation

* Harmful and illegal content
  - What kind of content should be declared illegal?
  - What is done about this?
  - Undesired side-effects of some of these measures
  - Strategies for improving the situation

* Balancing the interests and human rights of producers
  and users of creative, digital goods of culture.
  - What are the most serious current imbalances und injustices?
  - Strategies for improving the situation
