This is Jon. "I am opposed to the government's mandatory ISP level filtering," said Jon. "I believe that it will be ineffective for the objectives that they are attempting to achieve ... and it's setting up a mechanism for future governments to control [freedom of speech]."
Jon runs two blogs on the issue, Broadbanned Revolution and Filtering Fallacies.
Jon said there would still be dangers with an opt-out filter. "The problem with an opt-out filter is that everyone gets it, and if they chose in the future to remove the opt-out nature of it, it's very easy to make it mandatory for everyone."
Jon said he heard about the protest through the website Somebody Think of the Children.
