I remember the hub-bub when Stephen Conroy tried to push out a blanket filter here in Australia, and when WikiLeaks leaked the list of websites to be blacklisted, there was a website owned by a dentist in Queensland. In Australia, a judge has recently ruled that ISPs are not responsible for keeping their customers in check [

Since the current topic is child porn, though: restrictions aren't going to solve anything. If Google can't even manage to find deepweb sites, how does the government expect to control anything? Lobbying and changing laws won't solve a thing; we already have child pornography laws. All of the money being spent on campaigns should be invested into specialised units within the federal police forces of multiple countries to actually get onto the intneret, track down paedophiles, and charge them accordingly.

^ All of that. It would also make it far, far easier for the appropriate organisations to keep and eye on them. If they're a registered business, their employees have tax details on file, and it's as easy as having a look at the date of birth on the tax file to make sure that they're of legal age.
