Australian ISPs Required To Report Child Porn

Posted by timothy on from the law-and-ornament dept.

rolling_or_jaded writes "As of the 1st of March 2005, Australian ISPs and web hosts will face fines of up to $55,000 if they can be used to access child pornography and do not refer the information to the police. Yikes. How on earth are the ISPs (and web hosts -- like my own very small-time and humble company) supposed to enforce this?"

    Close. Bush asks for $FOO, Australia bends over. If we don't, bush slaps tarifs on our farming exports (while subsidising US farmers), and our economy keels over. Of course everybody not in power likes to complain about the liberals being "america's lackeys", and to act like they'd be in a position to do something different if they were in power.
