[AusNOG] Liberals plan to Filter the Internet

[Paul Wallace]

On the other hand the current Government has supported a range of agencies in their demands on ISPs (to interfere with their websites for example) without firstly seeking an Order from a Court.

I think that, even if in end most people agree that the contents of website are offensive & that it should be turned off, a SINGLE legal process to achieve that outcome should be experienced. The community should NEVER allow various agencies to become Judge, Jury & Executioner.

That's what the Courts are for!

Its probably just been released a few weeks early. We probably weren't supposed to know about it until after they got into government.

Begs the question ... has the ALP ever withdrawn the following policy statement?

"Instead of a mandatory filter, Senator Conroy announced that ISPs would be forced to block websites listed on Interpol's "worst of" database - such as those that provide child pornography."

FWIW, Turnbull is blaming an 'administrative error' (Wikileaks Party wordage, sure, but if the shoe fits...) for this (non-)policy announcement.

See his Twitters @TurnbullMalcolm (I'd point you at his website but it's heaving under the strain) _______________________________________________
