It is SO easy to break NetNanny an the like. They don't work. Any 12 year old determined kid can figure it out. MAYBE if you combined a family friendly ISP with a parental controlled fire wall, AND several layers of software/browser based filtering this could be accomplished.

Putting this aside, no matter how much you protect your children at home, you can't protect them away from home.

"It is SO easy to break NetNanny an the like"

IIRC, people in china have no problem using a vpn or whatever to bypass the great firewall? Why would government purchases blocking software be more effective than parent purchased blocking software?

mobiuscog's comment was in the context of accidental content, not one you want to find. There's no solution for the later.

And I'm not sure stacking protection helps. There's going to be a massive overlap in the lists of those services.
