<start drivvel> well well we have come full circle.. So who's going to gauge what will and wont get through ay. I'm all for letting people choose themselves. If they don't like what they see - they can unplug. It's a big scary world out there ay... It's like the isp's/transport providers are the highways. If people wanna walk out in front of a car on your highway (even though it's obviously a big truck that's gonna run them down badly disguised as a phishing scam.. - well - they have been warned. They had to learn to walk in real life- maybe they should learn to 'walk' in 'our virtual world' ie fall over some of the pitfalls - just like we all have done at some time.. You cant protect everyone all the time. So many standards of wrong and right and possibly no right answer. This is the bit where I go quiet again - after all I don't even work for an ISP any more!

I guess from a morality point of view... Is it in an ISP's best interest to protect its customers interests?

If you want to involve morality... many people don't like pornography. There's lots of it out there.
