Nicely put Gaz. I was involved in the previous net censorship (at ISP level) project back at the start of the decade. The updates were infrequent and often very ordinary (sites that a 15 year old could buy a magazine copy of but not visit the website for example). I can tell you now that if you roll out a filter based on application and even packet level I can still bypass it free within minutes of it going live without any problems at all. And not surprisingly it's exactly the same way people bypassed the last one. A school student in grade 6 will be held up for a few minutes by it but ultimately would have no real problems. I ask why so we do this when we wouldn't let kids watch adult movies without first checking them?
