Wow that is very scary. The internet is the last bastion of the raving lunatic, and liberal media. You can say anything you like without someone censoring you according to thier political/corporate agenda.
Whats the bet that they'll put some sort of spy software on this filter system? It will be for our own safety no doubt. To stop bad men from doing naughty things in the names of thier gods. IE the excuse we'll use to control you even more.
It was bound to happen, almost every phone call you make is logged and filtered.
Its not fair, I just want to look at 'mens' sites and file 'share' without worrying about the police popping many caps in my oversized rump.

I wonder how on earth the government think this will pass muster...
And how will all those politicians deal when they can't access all that illegal stuff on their tax payer funded Laptops and PC's?

I wouldn't worry too much about this. It's technically impossible and it's going to be an expensive embarrassing mess.

it's not technically impossible... like what Sofaman said.. look at China.
have you tried to carry a cisco router into china recently? it's virtually impossible to get it into the country with all those encryptions
EDIT: I know the 2nd sentence doesn't relates to filtered internet. But if China can implement something like this on that scale, there's no stopping our Government.
By that point, aussies might as well be ruled like a communist country.

No it's not, it's very possible and that's what sucks, well, the thing that will suck will be dialup speeds on adsl2+ and being taxed for it.Originally Posted by jaydisc

children shouldnt be on the net unsupervised anyways
would using a proxy from another country (US,UK etc) defeat the filterings if it gets put in place?
