Aside from the civil liberties argument, the problem is that an internet filter will never be %100 or even %90 accurate. I have 12 years experience as a Computer Scientist and there is no algorithm that exists which will acurately detect a pornographic image versus a family snap with the grandparents. Perfectly legal material will be blocked 'accidentally' by these filtering methods. This is a waste of time and money and the negative effects will far outweigh the pros. Please drop this idea now.
