The thought comes to mind: why isn't filtering an add-on that costs extra? "You want kid- and church-safe internet access? Order our CleanStream product."

Some ISPs (talk talk) already offered it for free butit was opt in. Strong arming other ISPs into it and making it opt in was done because politics.
Making it Opt out, you mean.
Other way around: opting out will cost extra.
Incomplete sentences confuse me. Of course "pay for opt-out" is kind of how it is now, since those who opt out will still have to subsidize the support burden of filtering.
