At last whirlpool mod "WarT" has finally managed to lie his way via dishonest, unjust, unbalanced, and abuse of authority type moderating (as this very derblat list continues to bear witness to) to having "derspatz" permanently banned from "broadband" forums and my voice silenced there on the subject of ISP Level Content Filtering.
And there was great rejoicing from the anti-ILCF pro-pr0n circle-jerkers ?! :)
Actually, they are so starved for a whipping-boy that they've resorted to manufacturing their own "turn on and off at will" devil's advocate. Heh.
Anyway, here is the message delivering the perma-ban. Apparently it was sent on Friday but as I rarely actually log on I didn't get it until a moment a go. Enjoy.
Friday at 5:42 am
Forum Ban
As per previous warnings and your inability to refrain from trolling and hijacking discussion in the Broadband forum, you now no longer have the ability to post there
Such bans are permanent
Sorry Harlen, I know that playing the D.A. is wearing you down but I can't offer to tag and take over from ya now. :)

Preventing things from happening legitimately just drives things underground or encourages innovation.

As has been posted on several blogs linked to popular newspaper websites, these filters are easily bypassed by a simple VPN.
They won't filter P2P, which is where a vast majority of young individuals happen to stumble upon illegal material, and either immediately remove it or push further into a downward spiral.
The increase in VPN usage by the tech savvy could possibly increase competition and drive down costs, leading to more usage etc...
Ultimately, the filter will be as useful as banning fireworks has been.
You can take away the explosives, but you can't take away the idiots.
This is Thelen, and I also have had a run-in with this moron. Have a read of :
