How can the internet make the world a better place? Communication. by adding your filters you will be limiting your voice, and reach of communication. if your going to put a filter on the internet, somebody is going to remove it and then show everybody else how he did it. you're conerned with piracy and pornography. does this mean that you are also going to stop p2p file transfers and vpn? how are businesses meant to function? could it just be solved with a free version of netnanny and if the parent doesn't install it then its the parents fault. my solution is to use the money that you have been wasting on this frivolous idea and to put it to better use to expand network capabilities to more rural areas. In my honest opinion, i believe that Conroy just doesn't understand the internet and what his effect on it will have on the economy. so here's a solid idea for him on how to make a "better" digital economy... WiFi Hotspots!!. Put your internet filters on them if you wish. They are YOUR internet connections. You could always just make the internet free. i wouldn't care about a filter if i didn't pay to use it. btw i would just disable the filter or bypass it.
