A bill has been introduced into the Israeli parliament which would require all ISPs to give their customers a choice: if you want absolutely free web access you must give your age and ID every time you access a site that contains porn\\violence\\gambling; alternatively you can choose to remain anonymous and have that kind of site automatically filtered out.
What do you think? Is this a legitimate protecting of the vulnerable or crass censorship?
Of course, there is no guarantee that this private member's bill will be enacted into law; but neither is there any guarantee that it won't.

The paradox has often been noted that the United States, founded in secularism, is now the most religiose country in Christendom, while England, with an established church headed by its constitutional monarch, is among the least. (Richard Dawkins, 2006)

It's the old "those with nothing to hide have nothing to fear" argument that all dictatorships love

It's over the top. If kids are looking for porn, they'll find it. And "stumbling" across porn accidentally isn't easy with google. Those looking for porn will still use file sharing programs anyway. So really all it does is invade privacy.
Look at this tree. I cannot make it blossom when it suits me nor make it bear fruit before its time [...] No matter what you do, that seed will grow to be a peach tree. You may wish for an apple or an orange, but you will get a peach.
