I just want to let everyone know that filtering does not work at ALL!! Well, not the way people want it to!
I work for the largest filtered ISP in america.
I can tell you, alot more than porn gets blocked. Here they deem anything "hacker" related a "bad thing"tm and try to block it. That means alot of security related sites are blocked, including 2600.com.
Anything remotely offensive to anyone is blocked, catering more to the outspoken conservative sect. Sure, it does block some porn...it will just take an extra 10 minutes to find it.
Filtering will not block out everying, it will just become a tool to further the agenda's of the conservative sect. No need to worry about court orders or injunctions let's just block all of those "hacker" sites.
At least here, people have the freedom to choose our service.
I appreciate StarBucks(tm) for giving me the choice to decide at what block I decide to stop for StarBucks(tm) coffee. I can even decide if I want to cross the street, because there is one on the other side of the street. And, if I go to a mall, I have the choice of what mall floor I want to get coffee at!! I just wish I could smush StarBucks(tm) and Mcdonalds(tm)together. I would put them at every third block...then I would have real choices..
