I too would like to offer my $0.02 on the proposed censorship laws.
They are simply not workable. Any thirteen-year-old nerd can circumvent Web filtering if they try. How do I know this? I was one of those nerds.
On top of this, the proposed filter would not block peer-to-peer transmissions, which alone would make it completely and utterly ineffective for the blocking of illegal content.
Add to that the massive Internet slowdown and you have my case against the filter.
