Compalints driven system.

Because this is to be a complaints driven system we can expect the internet to be reduced to the level of A Current Affair and Today Tonight moral panic. As Metamagician and the Hellfire Club blog mentions, remember the hysteria over Henson's photography? Also, Mr Illingworth's legal troubles over a video of the child of a circus family. I don't want unthinking, hysterical people determining where I surf when I am in the privacy of my own home. If they don't want to go to porn site, don't go. The absence of a filter doesn't mean you have to go to sites. If you have children, install a PC based filter. The kind of money we are talking about to roll this nonsense out could have bought every household a computer with a PC based net filter pre-installed. Who do people screeching for net filters pays for this bullshit? This is paid for by tax payers. It's not for free, people. This kind of money could be used to reduce surgery waiting lists or pay for more teachers. Something of use to society.
