O.P. RE: Response to the nationwide internet filter in Australia,
I think the filter is targeted at porn.
it's not meant to be about what will filtered, but more about the downsides of the implementation, eg will the filter be so poorly implemented that anyone can just bypass it so easily that it would not be worth the cost.
would such a filter impede speed to a noticeable degree?
would any teenager who is wanting to bypass the filter just be able use something like yourfreedom to completely ignore it?
likelihoods that the filter could be misused to obscure freedom of information/free speech.
those are the few points that come to mind, I want to hear peoples thoughts on the points above and any other thoughts people have on the scheme
