Mark me down as 'yet another' voice against the proposed net filtering (in its current form). There is no reason for me to repeat the good points previously stated in 600 odd other posts. My additional views are as follows- I feel it is unfair to turn ISP's into policemen, and worry about the outcome of a future court case between 'litigious parent A' vs 'a-typical small ISP', all because someones sensibilitys were shocked. Putting aside the freedom of speech debate aside for a moment, Id like to say I have been using the internet in its current uncensored form for many years now, and yes I will concede pron is easier than ever to find. 15 seconds with google and you could no doubt find a picture (or movie which is already out of the scope of your filtering) of just about 'anything'. I can to some extent agree with concerned parents that younger children should be sheltered from such until they are of a more mature age and mindset. I do strongly feel though this IS the responsibility of said parent to police. With that said I know joe sixpack doesnt know what an IP address is, let alone how to blacklist one. The existing downloadable net-nanny solution is perfect for this.
