If you do that she will accuse you are being a bully and a troll, and you become her reason for censorship. This "person" is beyond reason and logic.

Look, we all know that all that needs to happen is that all UK ISPs put an on off tick box on all their routers in people's homes. Parents could easily decide this for themselves, in private, with out humiliation and interference. But no. It has to be the hard way, it has to be the way that coerces adult to her way of thinking.

Wait, this is pretty much what has happened. Except it's not on the user's router, but on the user's settings page at the ISP.


And that's the important distinction. Because it's not on the router, it's not kept as private information. And it's on by default, so if you want to see any blocked things you have to announce to your ISP, "I want to look at…"
