I don't know much about the wider context. But, from reading the quotes, the point she is apparently trying to negate by playing dumb is that there are plenty of free, easy & available ways of filtering your own internet without government mandated censorship.
Her point is "People are too stupid to do this for themselves. We should just filter the internet for them." I'm not sympathetic to that point.
People can do it themselves (find and download software). They can ask the people who sold them their computer to do it. They can ask the people who sell them their internet to do it. They can walk into any computer shop and pay for help doing it. They can ask any remotely computer savvy friend to do it for them.
I wouldn't object to a government run helpline, in-school setup. Anything voluntary. Preferably sane. Preferably effective. Preferably not at ridiculous cost. But, I'll take voluntary.
Are you seriously arguing that it is acceptable to allow your government to censor and (even more) trivially monitor your internet connection for, well, any possible reason, let alone one in support of a policy that wouldn't be particularly effective even in the best case scenario at achieving its goal?
No, they aren't, and nowhere in their comment do they do this. This is a clear false dichotomy argument on your part.
How is that a good thing? How would it help the bottom line in the long run?
You can, however, call your ISP and tell them to turn it off, just like you would have told them to turn it on to start with when signing up to the service (you'd be given the choice whether to have a filtered connection or not when signing up).
The linked report also includes quotes that points out that there are substantial limitations in this type of filtering that means people might still want to choose other options - e.g. it's a single setting for the entire household, so if that is not appropriate for you, you still need to download separate filters, whether you ask for your connections to be filtered or unfiltered by default.
First step after buying a mobile phone is to call them up and get them to remove the stupid filtering.
