A Porsche car dealership, two feminist websites, a blog on the Syrian War and the Guido Fawkes political site are among the domains that have fallen foul of the recently installed filters.

The filters screen out pornography, suicide and self-harm related content, weapons and violence, gambling, drugs, alcohol and tobacco, but users can also opt to block dating, music and film piracy, games and social networking.

Maybe parents should just do their job and pay attention to what their kids are doing. It's not that complex to lock down a system; or they could just cancel Internet access to protect their poor children from this big bad world out there. However, it looks like it's easier to whine and complain until everybody has to suffer from retarded censorship that only the government might like.
