You realise it's optional, right? And that the subscriber can ask to have it turned off?

First they came for the pedofiles and I said nothing because I was not one. Then they came for the pornographers and I said nothing because I was not one. Then they came for the gamblers and I said nothing because I was not one. Then they came for the muslims and I said nothing because I was not one. Then they came for the pirates and I said nothing because I was not one. Then they came for Assange and I said nothing because I am not him. Then they came for me and there was no one left to hear me scream.

And in the first step - a classic dilemma - how do you know what you can't see when you are blindfolded.

Remember the police man in Denmark earlier this year that "by mistake" blocked the half internet to his country when fiddling with such "blacklists".

Expect lots of "collateral damages" once this will have become mandatory (the next step)

Because there are so many sites blocked, and it comes with a fucking huge page saying something like "CONTENT LOCK CONTACT YOUR PROVIDER TO HAVE THIS TURNED OFF".

These are voluntary optional blacklists.
