🙄 Doug Belshaw So this kind of pisses me off: dajbelshaw.withkno.... I know why BT do it (pressure from UK government) and I know why parents lap it up (lack of knowledge and doing something seems better than doing nothing) but encouraging people to install filtering to solve social issues seems misguided.

Mark Dain It pisses me off too which is why I switched my ISP to A&A. This isn't an ad -- I just strongly value what they do. Nothing is censored, not even The Pirate Bay. Censoring doesn't work because as they say on the internet, you can't solve a social problem with technology.

Eric I remember the filter we had at school, it was ruthless and extremely difficult to get round &when you did the IT dep (credit to them!) closed the loophole faster than you could exploit it. It used to block Google Image searches of the phrase "clocks".
