My point was basically I would prefer to argue these issues in the US from the position of a user in compliance with current laws, rather than civil disobedience.

As for filtering I have been (am) involved with filtering on an organizational level and as a consultant for individual users. I have learned there is no one size fits all solution for this. Outsourced filtering services or even organization wide solutions tend to be too rigid to please a lot of people. The good filters tend to be a little overzealous and if the individual has no way to quickly whitelist or blacklist sites filtering can be very frustrating.

Ultimately I liked this approach because it puts control back in the users hands while at the same time providing reasonable filtering and logging services.

I believe this only applies if you live in the USA ~ 300 million people out of world’s 6500 million approx 5% affected by this.
Perhaps there are other countries?

I agree with the poster above that it is an informative review. Concerning the filtering it is a difficult question – do you give non skilled people the opportunity to use it (when there are proxy server, firewall and filtering software all working together) or do you leave it to system admins to put on servers?
