would both filters be applied to start with? or would it be like the mandatory is applied then you can ask to have the second applied as well?
tbh i think filtering is stupid. If your kids are stupid enough to go look at child porn or suspicious website with "unwanted" content, maybe they arent mature enough to be using the internet anyway. And like I said before, applying a filter will most likely cause a speed decrease which is really shit seeing as how our internet isnt that fast to begin with.
I reckon if anything any filter should be optional at an ISP level and nothing should be forced upon us. Politicians who think this is a good idea either dont use the internet enough or arent that educated regarding the internet, or are just trying to pull votes and popularity from parents with little kids.
