The biggest problem with all sorts of "Net-Nanny's" is that someone might tag a site different from what YOU might think it should be.

Who can/want to be responsible for filtering/cencoring the complete web,
saying its MY way or NO way ?

YOu _can_ do it in small scale, lets say in a company/school/home network, but still someone has to decide what is what.
And people in lets say USA have a different point of view than people in Europe.
At my workplace, we have a filter from a company in USA, blocking sites that is perfectly legal here,
both in general and in the internet policy of my company,
but since the developers thinks in a "USA way", the administartos here have a big job to do
everythime they update the filters, to make sure they don't block legal stuff.
