iiNet: Conroy misrepresents our filtering stance

[1AZRAEL1]

And I still wonder why people trust this guy to give us a filter that works.

As I said before, the guys a stooge. He can't even get his facts right, so what makes me believe the rest of the bull**** he has told us is true? Not one iota do I trust this guy, never have and never will.

I actually did notice this story on www.news.com.au

This just further proves our point at how deplorable Senator Conroy's conduct is.

When I had read that he had stated that 85% of Australian ISPs were in support of the filter, I had to laugh as yet again another example of misused statistics had just been employed.

Anybody with half a brain when it comes to I.T. in this country would know that 85% is a load of poop, the problem is the vast majority of the populace have little understanding of I.T. and are subsequently unable to make a proper informed opinion.

I hope that iiNet's stance on this issue is followed by other misrepresented ISP's as this sort of poor performance needs to be reprimanded.

I can only imagine how long it will take before Senator Conroy's department's servers are hacked again and the actuality of this farce is plastered all over his department's site.

I see it listed on the News.com.au main page, however the link for the story doesn't appear to be working.

Did find an alternative link for it though:

Do you think that it's because so many people are viewing it or commenting on how deplorable Senator Conroy's actions are.

Could be.

Updated version of the News.com.au story:

Don't claim we support filter, iiNet tells Conroy

Whoops, I get an error saying the page isn't there.

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

The URL changed. I've edited the post with the new URL in place of the old one.


iiNet have also issued a press release:

iiNet does not support Conroy's Internet Filter

Wonder what the old Con will say about this press release, probably more lies

That iiNET are running a scare campaign or are misinformed.
