Technical Specs Released For Aussie Net Filtering

Posted by timothy on from the for-a-limited-time-only dept.

smallkathryn writes "Technical specifications have just been released for the Australian net filtering trial. The trial, which aims to prove that ISP-level filtering is a viable way to stop 'unwanted content' from reaching users, will go live on 24 December. The trial will involve ISPs choosing a commercially available hardware filter from an internet content filter (ICF) vendor, adding it to their networks, then loading the blacklist of unwanted sites. Still no indication of how peer-to-peer information will be addressed."

    The criminal element is what brought the white man to Australia all those years ago. Has this perhaps guided this decision, to err on the safe side. Imagine all the crimes committed now, already. Give them the internet, raw, and expect the worse.

    It's the JEWS, stupid.
    Who else wants to stop you from reading the truth about them?
    Only the Jew.

    No more news on Israel's atrocities, it will all be blocked by the filter. We can't have the Jews' 'cattle' finding out how imperfect their masters are, can we? After all, they are 'God's chosen people', according to themselves...
