So, then how is the government, you know the one that manages to net domestic calls in an international call monitoring scheme, going to accomplish this? Are you saying that the governemnt will be satisfied with just knowing how much "porn" was found? Or are they going to want to take it further and try to find out where the request came from? After all, the fact that the request was made means nothing if you can't prosecute the person that made it. Given the administration's track record, I'd believe the latter before I'd believe the former. And if the intended goal is to determine which "child" filters are working or not, then wouldn't it logically follow that an age for the user has to be established? > This means children doing harmless searches that get tricked into > going to porn sites that the filters miss.

Oh yeah, and without "[identifying] people" how is the government going to determine which of the requests were made by children? > All the other search engines complied, Which frankly scares the living shit out of me.
