[Chapter-delegates] Internet Filtering

[Omar D. Al-Sahili]

Dear All;

Internet filtering for porno and Adult sites is now being discussed in
Palestine at the backbone level. As it’s being piloted, it is causing
ridiculously slow Internet traffic. The funny thing is that some ISPs
provide filtered connections for households and that did not cause much
slowness.

I would appreciate some feedback of similar country's experiences about this
issue and especially on the technical side and not the concept itself. I
understand that the effectiveness and success of Internet filtering that is
a debate on its own. 

So simply, how does Internet filtering affect the speed of regular Internet
browsing.


Regards.
