Ok, enough legal debate.  Let me use a strictly US analogy:  The death
penalty for shooting a cop is a legal deterrent, but a wise cop still

Filter to protect your own network, and, when necessary and possible,
your customers from each other and the Internet from your customers.
Legalisms punish, after the fact.
