But they can't do that for every website out there - *some* of the decision 
making needs to be made by the police (or even a computer), not a court.  In 
the same way the police (or even some automatic camera) decide if someone is 
driving dangerously or not.

And then of course in the process, some sites are going to get blocked which 
shouldn't have been, but that's life.  Especially if you name your site 
"childporn.com" I would expect it to get blocked - no matter what the actual 
content.

Anyway, why is it illegal for ISPs to only allow traffic from certain sites 
that they choose (or are told by some other organisation)?  AIUI there is no 
law that says all ISPs must allow access to the whole internet uncensored.
