IMHO the provisions in your list plus a few more would make the whole thing unobjectionable. My additions:
- It's opt-in. The ISPs are required to notify subscribers that it's available, with clear explanations.
- Allow parents to opt in or out of each of various categories
Such a scheme would accomplish the purported/advertised purposes, without harm to civil liberties and without interference in home life.
Unfortunately, these "how to fix it" ideas are misplaced. The fact that non-pornographic sites, obviously selected by political criteria, are deliberately packaged together with pornography, is not merely a bad implementation. In fact it is clear evidence that the real motive is not to protect children at all, but instead to protect state power, and disempower the public and keep them ignorant.
Given this evident intent and purpose, attempts at partial reform are pointless, and the right thing is say no to the would-be gradualist-censors and call out their plan for the creeping fascism that it is.
