[Hammer]

I talked with an Aussie at Internext about this and asked him what he thought and he said they just tell the government to "fuck off".

Somehow I don't think $189 million is going to go far in this effort.

Personally I don't have a problem with providing better filters to parents and making sure they know about them and how to use them. We could all breathe a sigh of relief if there was a filter system that was effective and effectively promoted so most parents were aware of it. I'm not worried about losing a few bucks because some parents will be too stupid to figure out how to use the filters, but the government would have a hard time making a case against us if kids could effectively be blocked from our content in some way besides forcing us to put everything (including free sites), in password protected areas, like COPA proposes.
