Abstract:
The Internet is structured to be an open communications medium. This
openness is one of the key underpinnings of Internet innovation, but
it can also allow communications that may be viewed as undesirable by
certain parties. Thus, as the Internet has grown, so have mechanisms
to limit the extent and impact of abusive or objectionable
communications. Recently, there has been an increasing emphasis on
"blocking" and "filtering," the active prevention of such
communications. This document examines several technical approaches
to Internet blocking and filtering in terms of their alignment with
the overall Internet architecture. In general, the approach to
blocking and filtering that is most coherent with the Internet
architecture is to inform endpoints about potentially undesirable
services, so that the communicants can avoid engaging in abusive or
objectionable communications.
