To Lexe Belle, I should point out that the Internet is not "lawless" as I guess you must see it as your magic bullet filter is not yet in place. I am not sure that law enforcement people world wide dealing with Internet crime would be thrilled with that comment (who I am sure could use some extra staff and finance). If you are caught committing crime on the net, you leave yourself open to being punished by the law as it stands now!! You seem to have absorbed little of what the other contributors have been saying and do a great job of MINIMISING the impact that this filter will actually have. It surprises me that you seem to know more about equipment used by ISP's than the ISP's themselves, when oddly enough, many ISP's and experts have been saying that the filter idea is expensive and unworkable and either will significantly impact Internet speed with a filter of higher accuracy or less speed impact which will mean worse job of filtering, both ARE inaccurate anyway in blocking and letting stuff through, simply one is just more inaccurate than the other, a real positive huh?? You say that there should be some degree of policing, Policing is the investigation and arrest of crime, not imposing morals and values and opinions on the population as a whole, and it seems that the Government are not just interested in illegal content, as stated by Conroy, are they Lexi Belle!? Filter your own Internet, that is your right.... It is my right to say no to this and I am!!
