and just like every single other bill that comes out of washington, its no surprise whatsoever that the language is 'vague' and 'broad'. if you want to target a problem then target a problem, they're not fooling anyone with their shotgun approach.

You must have been extraordinarily lucky. As recently as eight weeks ago I was searching on Google Images for an image suitable for the cover of a childrens' book and I was presented with a page of thumbnails that included what was clearly a pre-pubescent girl sexually engaged with adult males. She was about eight or nine. I contacted Google and their response was a suggestion to turn safe browsing on. I contacted the local Police, who are very active in tracking paedophiles, and they informed me that they were aware of it, but could do nothing about it as it was located in Russia and as soon as they blacklisted it, it would change its name and ISP.
My search criteria was absolutely innocent, just a family images search, but I will not detail the search terms here. Although it is difficult, I support legislation that controls ISPs limiting links to such things. We want freedom, but what we actually have is anarchy on the web. We don't need, nor should we support anarchy.
