You're either misinformed about the net filter or really do think it's a good idea.
Come back when you're part of the trial and tell us about how you couldn't reach Whirlpool because it was inappropriately blocked when someone opened a thread "deemed illegal" under the filtering guidelines.
I think it is a good idea partly because it is so obviously doomed to mostly fail.
Most of my internutting is done on a P3-700mhz notebook wirelessly linked at 54g to router kept busy serving up my household with all my ebay wins (usually every time), online banking, holiday bookings, forum and blog participation, patch updating, and general googling (etc) at the heady speeds generally provided by a cheapy 256/64 connection when not doing the same on $1ish a week dial-up connection as circumstances dictate.
If in the future I find that I can't access a link for info I was seeking for one reason or another, I'll do exactly what I already do. I'll go to another link, and another, and another, until I'm satisfied in terms of what I wanted to find or know.
Who knows, it may well be that the nnn (National Net Nanny, acronym © derspatz 2008 :)) might even make my online involvements FASTER than before.
Either way, the sooner the better ... even IF only "for the children". :)
