We have an Australia wide firewall which filters our access to some sites, run by the ABA (Australian Broadcasting Authority). The bad thing is the ABA won't tell us what sites are blocked, the good thing is that I've never noticed it.
The fact is any attempt to filter the internet is misguided: the internet will always have myriad ways to access the same data. Anonymous proxies, mirror web sites, P2P, newsgroups, email from overseas friends and IM.
This isn't going to protect anyone or block anything. Even China's "great firewall" is like swiss cheese.

The sky was deep black; Jesus still loved me. I started down the alley, wailing in a ragged bass.
