| this sounds like an excellent idea
maybe then politician will realize how ineffective filters, but that's being overly optimistic for some politicians out there. hopefully they won't claim that the filters need to be more complex, thus more wasted money on the part of the ISPs and slower total throughput. |

How can it fail?
O yea, this is genius. We should also institute check points on every highway in the world and institute car to car searches looking for drugs and human trafficers. How could this not work?!!
Who's with me?!?! Anyone..anyone? |

| Deep Packet Inspection
... there's a growing push in the States to use Deep Packet Inspection to monitor each and every packet you send and receive for legality.
That push would necessitate rewriting CALEA among other statutes.
CALEA, as instituted places strict limitations upon what an ISP can look at, even on his own network.
It is illegal for an ISP to do deep packet inspection, even on his own customers, without a subpoena or CALEA action.
The only exception is monitoring for maintenance purposes. Traffic shaping would be "maintenance" purposes. |

What you mention sounds like a totalitarian state. That is going to be about the only way to control the population stamp out child pr0n, piracy and dissent.

| As "noble" as Malone may seem...
what his ISP plans on doing will likely backfire. As I heard from another place concerning this, Conroy would probably just declare the results from iiNet as "biased" and ignore them. It wouldn't be surprising if the filter plan is pushed through regardless of the trial results. |

The Christian right in Australia seem to think this is a wonderful idea. Of course, that's because they expect to have a major input into what does and does not get censored.
We all like to have things our own way, don't we? And don't like it when they're not. Funny thing about that.
Fair, proper, open, just-- who really cares about stuff like that?

Once Australia was a dream land. Now it's adopted everything the US ever did wrong, trying to imitate the US. Which in the last 8 years showed a lack of judgment.
This is also the land of Rupert Murdoch, the owner of News Corp that owns Faux News.
It's sad to see they haven't learned the lessons we just did.

Which lesson ? The lesson about not electing a leftist government across the board ?

Theocrats are subhuman. An appropriate way of dealing with them can be found in examining the Soviet Union's treatment of Mujahideen supporters. |

Re: this sounds like an excellent idea
It was trivial for me to beat my high school's internet filter using a proxy server running on my home computer, and since nobody else knew about my proxy, it never got blocked, and I could change my IP address any time if it ever did get blocked.
Any filter would be easy to break with a proxy or VPN connection. |
