The thought comes to mind: why isn't filtering an add-on that costs extra? "You want kid- and church-safe internet access? Order our CleanStream product."

Incomplete sentences confuse me. Of course "pay for opt-out" is kind of how it is now, since those who opt out will still have to subsidize the support burden of filtering.
