I am not willing to give up any of my own liberties to protect children. We already have laws that do that and judging by the number of people arrested they seem to work. You reach a point of diminishing returns. Hello,
Before *this* thread spins out of control, I would like to draw your attention to NANOG-L AUP, available at http://www.nanog.org/aup.html , particularly #6: Postings of political, philosophical, and legal nature are discouraged. In other words, it is on-topic to discuss operational effect of filtering - what the original post started with. It is on-topic to discuss how to filter and comply with government or corporate mandates to filter. It is on-topic to discuss existing logging/filtering solutions and their operational impact. It is "not so much" on topic to discuss legalities of filtering, but I think most agree that it still belongs here. It is clearly off-topic to discuss lists of british colonies, or civil liberties or protection of children - there are better forums to do this. Please follow any replies to this message to nanog-futures@nanog.org -alex (acting mlc chair)
