Online content filtering or digital literacy education?

FACT:

Google is under a lot of pressure to aid governments in filtering online content for a variety of reasons. To which the default answer is no… you idiot.

So, in order to back itself up on this stance Google is investing in a full-on digital literacy education program…and making it available for everyone. It’s early days yet but you can see where it’s going.

Something I would have thought the governments of the world would be doing, rather than throwing a digital blanket over the whole issue.
