Such systems have already been ruled "unconstitutional" in the US.

We are kind of use to the home office minister saying all sorts of cranky things. Chances are he'll be gone by the end of the month. My personal dealing with the IWF (stop emailing me, we don't have any NNTP servers anymore) don't fill me with confidence. If the government mandate this, they'll have to provide a list of images to block under a more accountable regime than some random "voluntary body", and they'll have to take responsibility when people point out the government is blocking access to specific sites that contain material that criticises them. I think complying with a voluntary censorship regime is a bad idea all around. I'm one of James's employers customers when I'm surfing at home. Simon
