" I can send an email, I can click onto Windows but the minute you talk about downloading software, my brain goes bzzzz"
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.
