Filtering locally simply means stopping end users to access illegal sites. Ok, but the sites are still there and everybody else will still have access !
Yes, but i'm sure that the 'local' netclean box can log IPs of people who attempted to access such illegal sites (such as Wikipedia) So whenever your goverment goes into
get_some_good_press(pretend_to_protect_kids());
mode, punishing people will be much easier than before.
Just because some ISPs will filter-out those sites will not reduce the amount of kids being abused.
I agree. They should punish people who:
- Produce such content - Pay for such content
...but starting to block random sites is just silly: It didn't work when they started to use DNS and it won't work this time either...
