I wish more people would consider the effect on clueless users when they implement something.
This bit, in particular:
>Jonny Shipp: If you talk to your Service Provider, they’ll help you, I think, mostly.
>Helen Goodman: How do you talk to them?
Is a valid point. Many people don't know who their internet provider is, nor how to talk to them. And, be honest here, how many people have had a useful experience when calling an ISP tech support?
She's trying to say that regular people cannot filter their own machines, and thus someone else (the government) needs to do it for them. But we should use that to say that she cannot understand why we cannot do it for them; that government sanctioned filtering will fail in many ways and be harmful; that the best thing to do is set up a quango and a help line and give away filtering software for PCs; (combine that with a malware scan and maybe the UK can reduce the ridiculous number of trijanned machines we have).
Having said all this, she actually is stupid and clueless, and in it's scary if she has any power over IT.
