I’m wondering if Senator Conroy isn’t smarter than I originally thought (that wouldn’t be hard) and isn’t just putting the whole filter idea out to a “death by committee”. If he can stall it long enough, maybe the fruitcakes^H family first will get voted out.

the other interpretation is Senator Conroy ( and advisors) have got it completely wrong!

Occam’s Razor suggests he is just wrong headed

on the other hand, such filtering will prove to be so completely ineffective and the embarassment will cause a resignation or two of all those associated..

one generous interpretation…and a way out…consolidate all the blacklists held by ISPs currently into a centrally managed governement regulated and subject to appeal process

very defensible

and probably what was intended originally…however, the religious zealots got into the picture

faith plays a big part in their system too, so i am informed

they are alternative interpretations of how well that system works too!
