If parents are too stupid to protect their own children from dangers in the home, then they don't deserve to be parents.
No argument there. Which is why our elected government is obliged to step in as best can be managed.
As in "intervention", etc.

Perhaps if you chose to see my efforts in here more akin to "lighthouse warning ships of the rocks and reef - derspatz
Perhaps that is what the filter should do. Warn you that are you about to view something that the government doesn't want you to see and ask you if you want to continue. Think of your well known Perth band The Waifs.
Lighthouse man can’t help us all
Some he’ll save and some will fall
He’ll show you where the danger lies
But he can’t help it if you capsize
He’ll light your way but that is all
Steer your own ship back to shore
The "skull and cross-bones" and "warning, danger Will Robinson" audio-visual pop-up could be part of the solution, along with the SMSing of a responsible Adult if you like. There are going to be many ways of approaching this required to get the job done properly.
I like the lyrics you provided (which are somewhat topical ... I certainly get your gist) but never heard of the band nor could actually name anything they have done mind you.
No radio on the motor-bike, no radio antenna on the 4x4.
How is that for an example for filtering at the user end of things rather than at the provider side ? :)

The government is elected by us, for us. They work for us. If they aren't working for us, there is no point having them, we may as well fire them.
No problem with that, except you missed the bit where "they ARE us".
IE, just a bunch of public servants who prolly get into the job because they aren't much good at anything else and also because they enjoy trying to tell people what to do a bit more than the next bloke, but still not all that different from the next bloke.

Are you part of the conspiracy or merely an innocent chump who has been taken in by misleading promises of child protection?
Which reads as "Have you stopped beating your wife yet ?"
Rest assured that my motivations and views have nothing to do with popular conspiracies and go way beyond mere child protection.
As I'm sure both Mark and Richary can confirm.
Heck, they could also confirm that when it comes to proving a point and how serious I am with my views, I'm also known to spend my own coin in very Real World (ala "offline") ways.

he was preaching the monumental failure of NetAlert because noone adopted it, yet he claims that there is public desire for this mandatory filtering.
He makes no sense.
I reckon it makes perfect sense in the context of a high probability that many folk who do want filtering for their kids/families/etc found/find it all too hard to actually figure out how to do it themselves and would much prefer a system where it is all done for them much like how their ISP takes care of spam filtering for them.
