Simple solution = let google use their, imperfect (false-positives) filter, allow them to collect $12 / year not to be blacklisted, and google to send all revenue to the Electronic Frontier Foundation or similar internet defending foundations.

Another road to hell paved with good intentions. Once everyone’s paying, who’s to stop them from pocketing the money instead?

“After careful review, we’ve concluded that the Electronic Frontier Foundation no longer aligns with the goals of Google or its parent company Alphabet Inc. to the extent we require from recipients of our Freedom Fund. We will place these funds in a separate account and use them in ways we believe will be in the best interest of digital freedom, both now and in the future.”

Worse, getting such money flow, EFF will get corrupt very soon.

Absolutely. There’s nothing like guaranteed money or power to corrupt people.
