Re: Ridiculous

And who's responsible when it's discovered that filters are blocking someone's business despite nothing indicating it should of been there in the first place.

The Australian legal system is going to be overwhelmed with lawsuits.

Re: Ridiculous

Listen, I only said I understood why they did it, I didn't condone it. The way I see it is it gives non-tech parents and businesses, that can't afford or are to stupid to deploy a filter system themselves, the false sense of security that they won't have to monitor their kids or employees. Supposedly, the ISP will do it for them.

Thats where the problem is. It's not the job of the ISP to be a "parent". And just who draws the line in the grey areas that will arise from such a blatantly stupid regulation?

Like I said before, more problematic than it's worth!~
