It's a little like trying to collect raindrops in your hat: you'll catch some, but you'll miss most of them. Worse, filters tend to block stuff that they shouldn't block: breast-cancer sites, for instance, and virtually anything having to do with homosexuality. The Censorware Project, which opposes the use by public institutions of these blunt instruments, found that...
