Please drop this ridiculous idea of filtering the internet. It has no merits whatsoever, will be unworkable, relatively easy to bypass, slow the (already slow) internet and not protect anyone.

Whatever happened to parents being responsible for what their children view? The government has already provided a PC based filtering system, which only about 3% of households took up. Which, to me, just goes to show most parents don't care about filtering anyway.

There are already many laws and systems in place to catch child abusers, as has been evidenced by recent cases of large numbers of people being caught.

I have no idea why the government ever thought this was a good idea, and wonder if anyone in the government really thinks its a good idea.

Or is the government just pandering to a small minority? That's not supposed to be how democracy works.
