I think it sucks.  Too much big gov\'t intrusion into peoples lives.   I dont\' go to smut sites, but my antivirus false positives much stuff as dating, adult, etc., that really isn\'t.  So if a top notch AV service has such mistakes, I think you would have lot\'s of problems with ordinary sites.  Thumbs down for this. :noooooo:

I agree 100%.  They have a filter where my wife works.  She was trying to get to an article about a lady with breast cancer at another office.  It blocked the article because of that word.  My other fear is that if the gov\'t doesn\'t like a particular group for whatever reason they could deem it not appropriate and filter it.  I don\'t want the gov\'t telling me what I can read.  I can figure that out on my own.
