It's good it got blocked but this should be the other way round. It should be an opt-in service.
Should be the parents decision not the governments or isp
They should just do what our ISP's done for ages, offer free filtering software from the website

I don't know of any parents that actually set rules on how much porn their kid can watch.
Why did I get dumbed?
I said this filtering system should be an OPT IN. So if the parent wants it they can opt for it.
Not the other way round.

Because you said its been blocked. It hasn't been blocked, the plan was rejected.

When you said "It should be an opt-in service" I thought you were referring to the porn.
Should be the subscribers choice either to opt-in or opt-out, you are paying for the service.
No, it should be the consumers' responsibility to control access to the available media, just as it has been for television for decades.
No-one should have to tell their ISP to put them on a "sexual deviant" list, nor have anyone else tell them what they can and cannot access. (within the law, of course)

It essentially WAS an opt in service. It would be on by default but you'd have to contact your isp to opt in for the ability to view it:

What you described is a typical opt-out situation.
The filter would be on by default and you go out of your way to disable it on your connection.

Now that would be an interesting phone call.

"Hi I want to see lady bits"
I'm sorry, but what is the point of not letting a kid see porn or read certain things?
If they want to so badly, why the hell not? It's not like their little minds will just suddenly implode upon seeing a dong.
If the kid is old enough to be able to find porn on the internet by specifically searching for it, something they cannot accidentally do, as no search engines give search-suggestions containing explicit materials, so in order to get to the porn, they have to deliberately get to it.
It's not like kids are browsing the internet, they click one thing on accident and then suddenly there are dicks everywhere, no. Now with Google making it harder to get porn accidentally put into searches for clean but otherwise possibly suggestive material (I.E: 'wet chicks'), they have to be trying to get to it, and if they're smart enough to know what to search and how to get it, let them have it.
