iiNet Pulls Out of Australian Censorship Trial

Posted by timothy on from the doesn't-sound-manly dept.

taucross writes "ISP iiNet today confirmed its exit from the Australian government's Internet filtering trials. iiNet had originally taken part in the plan in order to prove the filter was flawed. Citing a number of concerns, their withdrawal leaves only five Australian ISPs continuing to test the filter."

    More like "Aye-Aye-Cap'n!-Net".

    Big caps, low fees, popular with ... people who like Swedish peer-to-peer networks.

    According to TFA, it leaves Primus Telecommunications, Tech 2U, Webshield, OMNIconnect, Netforce and Highway 1. Not exactly what you'd call heavily-populated ISPs.

    Careful there. You're citing highly relevant, factually correct, widely available but politically undesirable material. Next thing you know you'll be threatened with an $11,000 fine and slashdot will be added to the list!
