I chose "oblige" carefully. Basically the ISPs AIUI/IIRC were given the option to voluntarily abide by a blocklist of domains - like thepiratebay - or have legislation made to force them to comply. I'd heard A&A were an outlier here but didn't know they actively stopped users from choosing their service if they want filtering. That seems weirdly fascist: like a supermarket that won't let you choose not to have Coca Cola on your shopping list, if you don't want it you have to actively remove it yourself. Porn, yes to some extent, but super-violence, torture, malware, gambling, prostitution, ... these are all things I choose to attempt not to pipe in to my home via OpenDNS/pihole/uBlock/direct instruction to local users! |

I would suggest instead that demanding other people figure out whatever weird quirks you have and then cater to them under the guise of being "child friendly" is at best weirdly fascist.
And it seems you at least reluctantly agree this that can't work even if you wish A&A would try to do it anyway, since all the systems you listed involve you explicitly configuring what you want blocked, allowing you to take responsibility for the inevitable under/overblocking. This approach works fine† with A&A since it doesn't ask anything of them.
† Well, as "fine" as can be expected, no worse than at other providers.
