More on Internet filtering

Electronic Frontiers Australian has a well reasoned critique of the proposals to filter Internet access. It makes a number of excellent points. The point where I would differ with the EFA is that it could be done.

It would take a massive increase in resources for the ABA and major changes to the laws and regulations governing Telcos and ISPs, but it could be done.

Knowing Canberra, any attempt would just plonk massive compliance costs on businesses while not really doing anything to fix the problem.

I guess as long as it plays with the voters, nobody really cares.
