Internet content filtering scheme, and will instead be placed on a 
watered-down blacklist, experts say. Under the government's $125.8

which block content inappropriate for children, and a separate list 
which blocks illegal material. Pundits say consumers have been lulled 
into believing the opt-out proviso would remove content filtering 
altogether. ..."
