Wasn't it in UK that you had to ask your ISP to unlock porn if you wanted to browse it?? What was wrong with that? It was effective and easy to apply.
ISP filters do not work because they just end up getting turned off.

The needs of a household with different users is not served by ISP blocking.

Adults in the household that want to wank or gamble are also blocked.

The methodology in this system is that it will be at device level. Therefore the adults in the house can consume services that they choose, and they can help to screen what their children can access.

The ISP filter brought in a couple of years ago was also completely ineffective because it was a choose once system that only asked your preference on first connection.
