Australia blocking illegal internet content - GoFuckYourself.com

TTiger · 10-18-2008, 06:59 PM

Australians may not be able to opt out of the government's Internet filtering initiative like they were originally led to believe. Details have begun to come out about Australia's Cyber-Safety Plan, which aims to block "illegal" content from being accessed within the country, as well as pornographic material inappropriate for children. Right now, the system is in the testing stages, but network engineers are now saying that there's no way to opt out entirely from content filtering.

Australia moved forward with its plans despite widespread public outcry and began testing the system in Tasmania in February of this year.

Not to sound like a prick, but you heard this where?

"The Australian government's disregard for those prior studies suggests that the driving force behind the current plan is more political than technical."

Gee, that one wasn't hard to work out. They tried to pull the same stunt in about 1998 or 1999 and it was a similar situation: technically non viable, but they didn't care so long as bought them some political clout. Won't somebody PLEASE think of the children???

This country is always good for a laugh at the stupidity of elected governments, both state and federal.

I read the other day how the ATO is revenue raising again to, they want every single Australians details/tax file number from Ebay so they issue bills for capital gains tax. I'm glad to be counting down the days till I become an expat.
