The Federal Government is attempting to silence critics of its controversial
plan to censor the internet, which experts say will break the internet while
doing little to stop people from accessing illegal material such as child
pornography...<br>
<br>
...Newton said he found the bullying "outrageous" and Senator Conroy
was "misusing his influence as a Commonwealth Minister to intimidate a
private dissenting citizen into silencing his political views".<br>
<br>
...Colin Jacobs, chair of the online users' lobby group Electronic Frontiers
Australia said: "I'm not exaggerating when I say that this model involves
more technical interference in the internet infrastructure than what is
attempted in Iran, one of the most repressive and regressive censorship regimes
in the world."<br>
<br>
...ACMA released a report in July detailing the results of laboratory tests of
six unnamed ISP-level filters. Only one of the filters tested resulted in an
acceptable speed reduction of 2 per cent or less. The others caused <u>drops in
speed between 21 per cent and 86 per cent.</u><br>
<br>
...Despite this, the Government - which distanced itself from the tests by
saying they were initiated by the previous government - is pressing ahead with
live trials of the filtering system and will shortly seek expressions of
interest from ISPs keen to participate.<br>
