Regarding Internet censorship: We have two challenging issues here; 1) information, freedom, knowledge, history, versus 2) protection, religion, law, personal views. I propose a simple solution: Build the web filter, but do it in conjunction with ISP's, in such a way that customers must choose to opt in, or out, of the filtering. This would enable adults (all ISP customers must be over 18) to make their own decision about the access allowed in their home. Parents with little computer knowledge (or time), wishing to protect their children, can simply opt in, and not worry. Other people, who have the knowledge and/or time, can opt out, thus enabling them be RESPONSIBLE for their own children. Personally, I believe it's a waste of my tax money, because technology can always be beaten with smarter technology. It's a never ending battle.
