My comment may seem a little off topic but it directly relates to the *impact* that the idiotic internet filtering proposal will have on the "digital economy" or whats left of it after the packet filtering at ISP level has slowed the web to a snails pace.

This internet filtering proposal looks like yet another classic case of people listening to advice from people who don't really understand the fundamental issues. This is just another example of a cotton wool government regulating away our freedoms to *protect* us. If you intend to protect children then perhaps parents should surf the net WITH their kids? and you can't reasonably expect dedicated child predators would be slowed down by something as simplistic as this filtering method? There is more than one way to connect to the internet. Also given the rate of change in the internet how you can you reasonably expect a government department to keep up with the list of sites that are off limits?

A quick and easy way to send our economy to the stone-age.
