I don't think we are on strong ground trying to create scenarios of multiple people using one PC on a single PC login - as it can be argued (and surely will be argued) that PC's aren't meant to be used like that. Each user should be logged on with their own account, or on a "guest" account. That way they can control their own security preferences.
But even if that was the scenario - it IS possible in the model, for the user to simply go to Webwise while logged in as the other person, and turn it OFF. Then when they have finished, if the other person wants it on again, they can turn it ON again.
I'm not in favour of doing that - I don't think anyone should use Webwise, it's not legal. But I think the "single login/multiple user" scenario is not good ground to choose to battle on. Sure we can argue about it, but I'd prefer to discuss things much more fundamental - like its basic illegality with regard to ISP customers and the misuse of website content/intellectual property.
