"Smartphone users under the age of 18 would have "adult content
filters" applied to their mobile services by default, according to
the policy."<br>
....right, and the length of time your average 16 year old will
take to remove said filter?<br>
<br>
In many ways this seems worse than an ISP level filter, I mean now
they are trying to get ISP's to enforce software on end user
equipment. Its just daft.<br>
<br>
If my grandmother has an internet connection solely for VoIP what
is she going to install this filter software on? Will she have to
call up the government and ask for access to XXX material just so
she can make cheap phone calls?<br>
