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 at nanog.org
