We're actually discussing the COPA which is a law that mandates filtering. And
whether or not filtering is ethical. I'm arguing that not only is mandating
filtering a Bad Thing, but also the philosophy on which the arguments used to
support COPA were based.

The technical capacity of a filtering agent is generally regarded as _always_
permeable (i.e. not fool-proof).
