The German Parliament on Thursday evening passed legislation that obliges internet service providers (ISPs) to filter websites allegedly containing child abuse material, by a vote of 389 to 146. The vote followed fierce debate about the secret filtering list to be put together by the German Federal Police and transmitted to ISPs once a day with only occasional checks by a five-member monitoring body.

Such news come up twice or thrice a month from different countries around the world, although most furious "antipaedophilic" campaigns take place in USA.
So, what you think about all of that — in particular:
1. Do the measures mentioned in aforementioned articles solve the problem with paedophiles?
2. Which of these things/activities do you think should be illegal:
- Browsing/storing child porn with kids
- Browsing/storing child porn with teenagers
- Browsing/storing 3D rendered/drawn child porn
- Keeping/publishing a photo, say, of your teenage daughter, lying on a beach in summer?
- Flirting with a teenage girl on MySpace, probably dating her
- Having consensual sex with a teenage girl, when you're an adult
- Having consensual sex with a teenage girl, when you're a teenager
- Saying "paedophilia is good"
3. All-in-all, is the fight against paedophiles in our society justified or is it a witch-hunt of 21st century?
Discuss.
