Government to censor the Internet

[Hursticon]

Even though the governments internet filter appears to be dead in the water, Optus and Telstra are going ahead with theirs

Telstra and Optus to start 'clean feed' to block child pornography web pages

I am ashamed to be working for Optus and will cancel my internet with them despite the fact I get it for free being an employee. I'm sure many will feel the same. Watch their subscriber base move away in droves.

I'm sorry to hear this news, as I've no doubt that people will feel the same way and it speaks volumes of the level of support it has if even Telstra's and Optus' own staff don't approve of the idea.

Whilst it will be an added expense for you now 5FDP, like 1AZRAEL1, I can happily and highly recommend TPG.com.au.

I had heard about that. Somewhere I saw that even if the legislation gets blocked in the senate, Optus and Telstra will make there own modifications. Makes me glad we ultimately chose TPG over Telstra (aside from the fact that we get 40G compared to the 12G that Telstra had at the same price)

I told you that the big Telcos are only out for your money.

Pretty disgraceful, isn't it?

Seems that Telstra and Optus think their customers are criminals.

And their share holders couldn't be happier!
I pity those who are currently with the big Telcos: exorbitant costs, poor service, poor coverage and soon to be poor transfer speeds (up/down) with their proposed filters.

And it looks to get worse if the current Opposition wins Government at the next election, cans the NBN and introduces their abortion of a policy that they announced today in addressing Broadband in this country, over wireless???
I can't begin to state the monumental flaws in their proposal that basically go absolutely nowhere to address anything at all.
