Government to censor the Internet

[1AZRAEL1]

Kinda funny that this was released at midday, and SMH nor other sites I look at have the article at present. Almost like they don't want to post it

Big suprise that that SMH still a day later have nothing about iinets press release. Seems to me that they are in on the scare mongering. So much for unbiased news.

That iiNET are running a scare campaign or are misinformed.

Probably something along those lines lol.

Internet filter offers fresh target for hackers

Right now, many black hatters are planning attacks on the proposed internet filter and its accompanying blacklist. I recently (and anonymously) spoke to one such black hatter who said the plan was not to leak the blacklist (yet again), but to highjack it. Imagine the havoc one could wreak if one could start adding innocuous websites to the blacklist - even just temporarily.

The first website to be added, of course, would be Senator Conroy's site, followed by The Australian Christian Lobby's site, and those of other groups in favour of the filter. Imagine the embarrassment and the public relations nightmare that would cause Conroy's people.

Actually, that's pretty funny - blacklisting the actual blacklist registry itself (assuming that's possible) would be funny too.

I agree that would be funny as , though I tend to think it would send the Servers into an inadvertent loop and crash the farm, that result would still be funny as hell though!

Nice little thing I found that hope will help.

If anyone's with iPrimus, leave that ISP NOW.

iiNet, Primus split on filter

Hey SGB, I'm with TPG and to date I've not been able to find anything on their involvement, or lack of, with the Internet Filter testing.

Do you think you could put your investigative skills to work for me?, I'd just like to know what my ISP's stance is is all. Would be much appreciated mate.

TPG weren't involved in the trial last year.

They haven't commented on the policy as a whole as far as I know, so I don't know what their stance on it is.

Ah good, I'm glad to hear as that could indicate their stance but could also mean that they're not prevalent enough to be a part.

Yeah, like I said, I haven't been able to find anything either which could mean they don't want any part of it or it could mean nothing at all.

I hate not knowing.
