I was reading about this elsewhere and I'm dumbfounded by it. As 
proposed, it is apparently to protect children. But isn't that the 
parent's job? And we all know how many false positives you get from 
so-called "filtering" software. I'm angry about this and I don't even 
live there.

The last time I checked, the ruling was still under consideration. Has 
it passed now? Is it definite?
