It is well known that those who distribute child pornography over the internet typically do it via closed and secrative channels and communities to avoid detection.

Both the FBI and Interpol have acknowledged that underground pedophile rings are where most of this material is created and shared from. Blocking website access of child porography while helpful, is not going to dent the availability or ease of access for those in these communities, they don't share their content via websites, yet alone servers accessable or listed to the public.

Methods such as https, ssl, and encryption are all frequently used to prevent FBI, Federal Police, Interpol, and their respective ISPs from monitoring the data coming down their lines as well as identifying them.

It's not as simple as banning a wesbite. These people are mentally sick and perverted, most don't share their material in the public arena but with highly private and secrative communities using complete encryption and security methods.

Also in regards to filtering in general, i opose it 100%. If you want to stop child porn, allocate more money and resources to the Federal Police and ISPs to track and identify sites and users. This is nothing more then a political stunt to justify it, if not that then you're seriously missguided as to how effective this method will be.

Also as others have commented on, I do not want to entrust the government, privte corporations, or any political or religious affliliated organization with the right to restrict what i can and cant access and download on the internet. There's to much trust there to be broken, and there are far more effective ways for the government to hunt down pedophiles.
