are we shooting ourselves in the foot?

I just had an interesting experience..

My ISP (which doesn't use infoave) had a problem with another provider upstream enabling an adult site filter which according to them was a mistake.

I wasn't able to access any adult sites that had the adult content meta tags.

I'm all for keeping porn from children, but it occured to me how easy it would be for any internet provider to just cut off adult all together with a click of the mouse.

We use these meta tags voluntarily to show good faith and to prevent minors from accessing our sites, but when this happened to me, it made me think of how easy we're making it for any provider to just shut us down.

I'd be interested to hear what you all have to say about this
