Internet censorship in Australia to become a reality

Spying is not cool
The Federal government is still pushing to censor Australian Internet in a bid to filter out inappropriate material to save kiddies from accessing pr0n. According to No Clean Feed, this will be a technical disaster.

* A filter would require ISPs to examine all Internet traffic, causing enormous expense and technical headaches.

* A filter will slow Internet access down by up to 78% according to a Government report.

* No software yet exists that can accomplish what the Minister is trying to do.

* Millions of web sites, with the list changing on a daily basis, would need to be monitored by Australian bureaucrats - an impossible task.

* Illegal material is already hidden and so would be difficult to find to even add to the blacklist in the first place.

* Any determined user - including children - could bypass the filter quickly using an anonymizer service.

* The clean feed would be less customisable and effective than a PC-based filter.
