Not that I care what you do in your home, but I don't like broken solutions being thrust upon me, and while I guess they might save unpleasant explanations to very young children, generally I think installing a home filter is a poor substitute for parental supervision.

Or are you just looking for better filters in public scenarios? I suppose that I should mention that I am very for content filtering, while at the same time free choice. When it comes down to it I don't really see kids having the same will power adults do. In fact I use http://www.contentwatch.com to filter my computers. Adults can get through it if need be, but kids don't see things that harm them. I don't know if there is a good situation for public scenarios though. I hate filters at work/school for tame stuff like youtube. So you basically are against filtering completely? Or are you just looking for better filters in public scenarios?
