| How are ISPs to do this? How exactly are ISPs supposed to accomplish this?
1) Has the Australian government created a succinct notion of what is pornographic that is amenable to automatic analysis?
2) Is there software available able to identify pornographic content on the fly? This is technically impossible not only does it have to "know" what is pornographic is needs to identify the context. If not Medical students will not have access to depictions of the human body and sites dealing with sexually transmitted diseases will be blocked. That happens often with current software.
3) ISP will need application level knowledge of all possible file and compression types so is is able to decode/decompress content. Any content encoding scheme not understood by the ISP will have to be blocked.
4) ISP will need massive computing power to sift through all traffic on the fly.
5) SSL/TLS/IPsec will have to be prohibited as any sort of encryption prevents ISP from evaluating content. Not sure how one will do Internet commerce or run a business in Australia.
6) Law is incompatible with controversial DRM protection schemes the media industry is trying to foist in the public. That is unless they somehow give ISPs backdoor keys to all protected content.
7) I'm sure there is a lot more but I find this tiresome.
What is it about naked bodies governments find so intolerable? Seems to me there are many social ills facing industrialized countries. I'd prefer legislatures focus on stuff that really matters instead on these silly things that are impossible to enforce and impose one person's morality on the culture as a while.
Why not bar war movies, or crime dramas. Why are pictures of naked human beings alone or engaged in sexual most of us will do sometime in our lives more repugnant then seeing one person kill another?
I just don't get it!
