[Foundation-l] Possible solution for image filter

[Andreas Kolbe]

Are you aware of any "providers" that use other sites' category systems in that way? E.g. to disable Google searches with "safe search off" for all of their subscribers, disable access to adult Flickr material, etc.?

The problem would be simple. The people that depend on one "provider" 
for internet access would have no other choice then to use a censored 
version. They type "en.wikipepedia.org", the local proxy redirects them 
to "filterpedia.org" which provides only the content which is not in one 
of the pre-choosen categories.

It's simple as that. They don't choose to use that site but they will be 
forced to. *We* would make that possible.
