If the filtering applied by mobile phone operators is anything to go by, this will be completely obtrusive. For example, Reddit appears to be filtered by default by Vodafone. Soon it'll be time to vote with your feet, or setup that VPN virtual host.

Do you think that's wrong? Reddit hosts and links pornography and probably a heap of other standard filter stuff, nazism, explosive making and such.

You can just ask for the filter to be dropped presumably. (Or like you said, vote with your feet).

Yes, I do think it's wrong. I disagree with filtering in the first place, but also I'm on a contract which if I were a child I couldn't have legally signed.

It's certainly possible to opt out but only by providing ANOTHER set of personal information (a credit card number) which there's no good reason for them to have. More tracking possibilities, more data...
