There is no question that the garbage that infests parts of the internet needs to be cleaned up.<\/p>\n<p>The next stage is to implement network-based blocking of truly illegal content. Strange that ISPs have no trouble blocking the merely annoying, but when it comes to truly illegal content, like child exploitation and hate, they claim that there is nothing they can do.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t seem to make sense that the ISP community is telling users that they should have PC-based blocking tools for illegal content, but ISPs boast about their network based anti-spam tools.<\/p>\n<p>Leaving blocking to users is like airlines fixing their on-board food selection, but telling passengers to bring their own parachutes if they are concerned about safety.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/intl\/en\/images\/logo.gif\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/intl\/en\/images\/logo.gif\" alt=\"TELUS\" width=\"138\" height=\"55\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>This ties in somewhat with the legal case being fought in the US between Google and the Justice Department over access to certain search records.<\/p>\n<p>That case started with the government wanting to study the effectiveness of filtering tools to screen sexually explicit content from children.<\/p>\n<p>Filtering explicit (legal) images is one thing &#8211; blocking illegal content is another matter.
