Filters should be set on the device not the gateway, full parential controls with passwords.
It is because so many parents lack the ability to do this on the belief that little timmy dosen't look at that sort of thing that the government is coming down so hard. Thing is that little Timmy will still look at that sort of thing because parents will have to switch off the filters to continue to see the bits of the web they do use.
I'm fine for free public wifi in shopping centres and starbucks etc... to have filters. Even if this blocks web forums because as a business it is up to them how they allow access to the internet and if their filters are too strong whereas somewhere else has more liberal filters then the people who are bothered about this can go elsewhere and the people who don't need to see the latest sweet black and yellow hip hop slave bike can drink their flat mocha choca chino with edlerberry syrup in peace.
