Yes. Because if you don't have a filter you can download one, but if you have a filter built into your internet connection, you can't undownload it. You can't choose the competing solution.
How is that a good thing? How would it help the bottom line in the long run?
- vidarh 14y ago> you can't undownload it. You can, however, call your ISP and tell them to turn it off, just like you would have told them to turn it on to start with when signing up to the service (you'd be given the choice whether to have a filtered connection or not when signing up). The linked report also includes quotes that points out that there are substantial limitations in this type of filtering that means people might still want to choose other options - e.g. it's a single setting for the entire household, so if that is not appropriate for you, you still need to download separate filters, whether you ask for your connections to be filtered or unfiltered by default.
- guard-of-terra 14y ago[citation needed] I have an impression that once government will mandate the filter it will be more or less mandatory. For the sake of children. And your ISP will not bother much with configuring it for you because it is no longer a selling point.
