This whole filter ordeal enrages me to no end. Based on the flimsiest of arguments, they've installed a cluttered, totalitarian force of power to put the flow of information in the hands of mismanaged officials. It's wrong on every level, yet it is now here. Wrong sites being blocked is inherent to the system, not something that can be easily fixed. It is highly subjective what sites are 'appropriate' and what aren't. And above all, it shouldn't be on by default but off by default!

I'll be punching sandbags with rage if you need me.
