lets just accept that we are just all concerned about our loss of freedom. not porn ok? :tongue:
shut the fuck up UFO douchebag

Also, for all those /b/ tards out there.

The ACMA list has only blocked direct links to specific threads and images lololo.

It's a good thing they're too far in the past to ever hear such a thing as 'dynamic pages' =o.

What newfags.
you shut the fuck up too

Guys and gals, wh othinks all the recent censorship issues in the last two years are bullshit. First games and now the internet. We're Australia, not bloody China, treat us like human beings who deserve their freedom, not locked up animals.

God, I hate politics like this.

I bet its mainly for the porn.

What exactly is the government planning to censor? Is it simply just pr0nz so the younglings can't get access to it? Or is it among other things like the Liberal website, or just anything they simply don't like?

It's mostly just RC content, but it goes into other things as well.

I dont actually believe that this is going to happen

Its either a ploy to gain votes when they ditch the policy or a tool used to sidetrack all the conservative old people who would otherwise be whinging about the seemingly extravagant spending on the NBN

the really stupid thing is.... most CP is spread via P2P sharing, not on public websites.

If anything, they should be monitoring P2P sharing, not blindly banning all these websites hoping that there will be some CP on it.

Also, wuts with all this 'banning small breasts and female ejaculation' on porn? dumbasses. banning small breasts cos they think it'll be CP. what is this fucking country turning to

Yeah. That shit's fucked.

Our broadband is already slow enough compared to international standards, why put in a bullshit filter that doesn't work and isn't even published? Government's definitely not going to get this one through.

"The IT muscle of Australia leaves a lot to be desired. This is a country that took $80 million to develop a filtering proxy, something which has already been done more effectively (squid : Optimising Web Delivery) for free. Literally, squid did regex-based filtering, and not list-based filtering a decade ago. In addition, it can speed up web traffic instead of slow it down like the Australian filter. ISPs that push more traffic than the entirety of Australia's internet usage have already implemented squid at cost in the hundred thousand range (which includes all hardware and development costs)."

From some interview.

No. It won't block p2p or any other type of file sharing meaning you will still be able to get porn off torrents, limewire etc. you will still be able to download off rapidshare and big hosting sites that aren't porn-specific.

But if you're worried, start downloading and saving as much as you can now.
Which reflects on its ineffectiveness, because I'm assuming people don't get their CP from www.childporn.com.

What sites would they block? Would they block redtube lol?
they'll block anything tagged with Small boobs, or teen, or school girl (even if its roleplaying shit)
why? the filter is ment to protect children, not consenting adults...

Furthermore the paedophiles will still get their childporn filter or no filter.

This filter im pretty sure works only on http not on any other protocol, plus shits easy to get around *cough* tor proxy *cough* VPN *cough* also once its released a shit load of people gonna just find a way through it or to over load it or something, and it will fail hard.

I say bring it on Ruddkipz show me what ur filter can do.

Ya i watched, hes a fucking moron.

(Paraphrasng the whole thing)

moron-"The opening package was wrong, rar rar rar."
host-"Does the filter slow speeds down?"
moron-"No, independent tests said 7/10s the blink of an eye through telstra"
me-"Oh yeah, cause they can be trusted"

He didnt explain the file size, type, net speed used, net type used.

host-"What about p2p networks, which is mostly used to distribute RC content, does the filter work??"
moron-"No, but the Australian Federal Police have technology already implemented to search out RC distributers"
host-"So the filter isnt stopping much...."
moron-"no the filter will stop websites that contain RC material"
host-"But you said earlier these sites were already banned, how can you filter banned sites?
moron-"derpedy deperdy derp!"
host- "well thats the time we have right now, but im sure this hasnt finished."
host2-"They better not filter pit girls"



Holy fuck this guy is dumb.


Filter does not filter P2P, main instrument used in the destribution of hardcore RC material.
Filter does indeed restrict speeds on non mainstream websites, for instance youtube wont be hit, but BoS might be.
He practically stalled because he knew he was raped with the opening segment.
Free or P2U computer based filters (nannies) are more effective then the tripe this moron is trying to introduce. These are updated almost weekly with a list open to public view. These filters also allow adults to view WTF they want when they want.

I think he was pretty brave for going on TV with such a stupid policy. Stupid. Absolutely moronic. But brave all the same.
