This might be the right time to try coming up with a better plan and submitting it to your government. I don't know how that would work over there, but for me I would write a letter to my congressman with another idea. You might try them using stronger parental controls to keep the underage thing in control. I'm not sure what you can do for the adults. The best parental controls I tried to get through was MSN. I couldn't do it. AOL was a sinch.

Well LS, our equal to a congressman is an MP (minister of parlament). IE7 has parental blocks in place, the thing with that though is to make sure your kids don't change the settings back is to make them a limited user via the user accounts in control panel.
Once your kids turn 18 you simply change it back.
I understand why they want to do it, and part of me agrees with it, however as I mentioned it won't distinguish between one from the other, unless of course they look at the library of urls in our internet browsers and deem what they think is "child porn, porn" or just "naked pics" for medicinal reasons or as "art".
The funny thing is child porn websites don't actually exist for the obvious reasons as it is against the law and anyone who has a website that contains child porn is arrested and sent to jail.
So what are they really policing? I just think the gov'ment wants to show how imcompetent they are by wasting tax payers money on something that is not really needed. They do it all the time here. We have real idiots working here and what's more is we put them there. So what does that say about us?
