The filtering of the internet is an idiotic attempt to appease a vocal minority of people who are similarly clueless about the internet. Web filtering will not work because a) file sharing is rife, and is ignored in this "draconian" filter - rightly so too, it would be futile to attempt to stop this. b) anyone that wants to avoid the filter will simply change their web browser to point to an off shore proxy. Which is how most clumsy pedo's attempt to avoid detection anyhow c) it won't stop web cams, emailed pictures, instant message file swapping.. etc. Spend the money on spam technology instead. Now that's a worthy cause...
