11. Did you know that there's this thing called HTTPS?
Blocking pornography can only be haphazardly done at the ISP level, because porn sites like most sites do not encrypt traffic by default. (I'm still not sure why this is, but it makes it much easier to find out if people are browsing porn at work.) When you make this decision, some porn sites will use HTTPS and the ISP won't know what content is being transmitted. Are you planning on creating a database of IP addresses which will be censored? What will you do about the likely false positives, or the generous number of IPv6 addresses now available?
