[AusNOG] RC Filter

I don't think anyone has been told anything about the technical implementation.

Hopefully the libs will block it (I thought I'd never say that!)

Hi Guys,

Was just reading an article on the internet censorship debate (http://www.theage.com.au/technology/technology-news/media-rights-group-puts-australia-on-internet-watchlist-20100312-q23p.html) and found a paragraph that surprised me:

"The Communications Minister, Stephen Conroy, has said he plans to introduce legislation by the end of next week that would require ISPs to block a blacklist of "refused classification" websites for all Australians."

I was wondering if any of you - the network operators - have actually implemented the proposed changes or are ready to flip the switch when the legislation passes?

I'm a keen observer (and opposer) of the filters and I find it strange it will be come law when I haven't seen any real technical specifications published yet.

Excuse my ignorance if you've been over this before.

Matt.
