Exactly. Schools are a different matter, but they have their own IT people that provide filtering of content to their own local area networks.

They will still want to do this because it is not just porn etc that they want to block, they will also want to block social networking and other things that are likely for children to waste time on.

So they don't need the government to filter the net - they do it themselves anyway. Sure porn still gets through occasionally, but I am sure it will if the government filters as well.

As far as households go - the previous government already made filtering software freely available to all households. All they have to do is download and install it.
