latest news on australian Internet filter
http://www.itnews.com.au/News/162941...-internet.aspx
Thanks to trip for linking me to this Seems like its not what we expected - they arent doing the great firewall of australia, nor are they doing the proxy based filtering. Instead, they're just passing a blacklist of publicly complained about material and known porn sites to ISP's, and making them block them. edit: then again.... http://www.itnews.com.au/News/162945...et-filter.aspx Quote:

It doesn't say anything about torrent sites what so ever, just bad sites for porn etc. But i guess torrent sites can come under that category?
In the end will it ever work? it didn't last time they tried, i guess time will tell. |

The government is basically bowing to pressure from the film video gaming and music industries.
Id say though the goverment if they wanted to could make it to were unless your super smart you wont have access to free stuff unless its already free.

A little off topic but......
Conroy: "The Minister for Home Affairs yesterday announced a public consultation process into whether there should be an R18+ classification category for computer games. Until this process is complete, online computer games will be excluded from mandatory filtering of RC content." -from the link in the OP post

Meh been talking about this to my Bro, and its just all BS, it wont do stuff all, all there doing is trying to get votes is all, nothing more, and aiming it at the kids so all those people that have no idea on it will "vote" for them.
Id just ignore it all, wont ever amount to anything anyway. And the stuff they said they would ban well guess what, its already done. (black list) |

Its not just us.
China as we know has it. The UK is getting it. and some other places that dont speak english so i dont really care. nearly every country is getting on this band wagon. This isnt a new problem either. It stems from the Net Neutrality issue thats been hot topic for a while now.

Id say it wont but who knows.

Technically we're going downwards because Australia's in the southern hemisphere.
And we're supposed to be the third best country in the world, shame on you government, shame on you! I don't see Norway throwing away there porn, now do I?
