We understand that you want us to concentrate on how the government blogs, and about the digital economy, but as I stated in another blog topic, where someone brought this up, your intentions with the mandatory filtering directly affect ALL aspects of using the internet, especially the digital economy. So I believe it's VERY relevant for people to discuss it. How can we possibly discuss the Digital Economy on your blog, knowing that you are about to stifle it, without bringing it up. I've been involved in web development and support for 13 years, 8 of those have been running a web development company. The filter is going to affect every aspect of the internet, and I believe it's going to affect me in my profession. If you are truly listening, then you'll listen to the majority of people responding to these blogs, and you'll listen to the 55,000+ that have signed up to the Get Up campaign against the filter. If you REALLY ARE listening, you'll listen to the multiple professionals in this field, that are telling you this is a complete waste of everyone's time and our money. Drop the ludicrous filter idea, and then we can get back to seriously discussing your blog and the digital economy. As long as the filter is on the agenda, everything you ask the public is going to be affected by it.
