Filter Vendor Agrees Aussie Censorship Can't Work As Promised
Acidspew writes "The Australian Government's plan to filter the Internet has caused furore and has been met with vehement objection. Many people have put their opinions forward regarding this matter, but this time around, M86 Security — the vendor that provided many ISPs equipment during the initial filter trials — has finally weighed in on the discussion. Six of the nine ISP participants in the URL-based Internet filter trial last year used M86's R3000 filtering kit. According to ARN: 'Internet filtering won't prevent people deliberately looking for inappropriate material from accessing blocked content, according to security vendor M86 Security.' The company continues by saying its filter gear was designed to be implemented into schools and enterprise businesses, not for an entire country. The article also touches on M86's views on censorship."
the greens would ruin this country. the wealth of this country is based on natural resources, how the hell is a party with environmental blinkers on going to manage? not to mention they support the sea sheperd whackos. i'm against whaling, but i hate sea sheperd because they are nothing more then self glorified pirates who do nothing but harm. they are the type of people that think anything they do is justified by their cause, so when they start making the wrong choices they justify it with their zealotry and aren't able to see they are wrong.
If you mod me down, I will become more powerful than you can imagine....
They support a group which is battling Japan's illegal whaling. Sure, I don't dig some of Sea Sheperd's actions, but there is far more to the Greens than the environmentalism. While they're the only ones who would actually go through with cutting down emissions, their other policies are far more grounded in (secular) morality than either of the two major parties and they are against the filter. 250% less evil than the ALP or Libs.
Are you suggesting I should let down my rights only because the mining giants would suffer?
If you are not, can you come with a suggestion on how to get rid of Internet censorship without voting greens? (I'd be happy to hear one, given we are in an electoral year).
Questions raise, answers kill. Raise questions to stay alive.
You're driving your car, but they're riding their bikes there.
Were where this when I needed it?
Unfortunately I've had the experience of dealing with the Sea Shepherd and her crew, and any group that supports those escaped mental patients deserves to be called crackpots and everything else in the book.
The crew and Captain of the Sea Shepherd are terrorists hiding behind a good cause and nothing more. Its time they were treated as such.
"Rather Sea Sherpard that illiterate fucks like you."
illiterate fuck am I? your just as 2 faced and incompetent as sea SHEPERD
If you mod me down, I will become more powerful than you can imagine....
