I agree with Magik, we can't rely on the state to protect our children (not that I have any, but...) from those sorts of undesirable images/influences. Public filters are good. It's not as if anyone should be looking at porn on public computers anyway. And in the home, parents should take the responsibility for filtering AND explaining. Nice if there's laws to help out, but not necessary.

I don't know what all exactly they're trying to block, so I don't know if I would consider it an impediment to free speech. Definitely block all the hardcore nasty stuff, but if they're trying to block (clean) sites dedicated to britney spears, that's not really practical.
