The Filter is for 2 different options ..

One blocks content thats not appropirate for kids
and the other blocks illegal material

The other stuff your stating is speculation ...
You contradict yourself Magii. You say it's about net security then quote that it is about filtering content, ie deciding for everyone else what is appropriate for them to view.

Who decides what gets filtered? TPB. Who decides what is illegal? TPB. So all it takes is one law that bans dissent against the government and their policies and nobody can access any information on it anymore. Places like Avalon would become inaccessible.

You use tactics I've seen before. You don't answer the points raised by others directly because you can't, you twist their words to attempt to make it look like they are saying something else, you ridicule their arguments with blatantly false logic (ie your Freedom of Speech and Deal or No Deal comment, or your argument that the need for trained firefighters is linked to freedom of speech) and generally try to derail the thread in any way possible.

If you have any VALID points to make please do so.
