"Filtering" is the process of selecting which sites to ban. In the case of Australia it appears to be a mass-scale banning once the filtering has been completed.

GR,
The story doesnt really give a true picture of what the governments is trying to do, they are targetting child pornography, which seems to becoming a big problem here, just last week a shit load of people were arrested (including a former judge) after police found hundreds of thousands of pictures of child pornography on their computers...HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PICTURES!!!
The police said some of the pictures were the most sickening they have ever seen, some included pictures of children under the age of 1. I support the Australian government 110% on this one, if they can save 1 child its worth it.
The sad thing about it is that many IT experts (as im sure you would also know) have said that these pieces of shit paedophiles can work around any filter, so it appears alot of our tax dollars will go to waste but atleast our government is trying to do something about this growing cancer of society.

I don't understand why any of you would be so interested in Australia testing technology which will ban various child pornography and known terrorist sponsored sites, especially since Australia could not even point to Cyprus on the map, let alone give a damn about The Cyprus Problem.

As much as I’m against pedophilia, according to the article the Australian government plans to filter and ban “illegal content” the definition to which is vague and subject to abuse.

By bringing up child pornography which is guaranteed to side the public with the government, they are effectively manufacturing consent for the takeover of the Australian Internet.

Unkie GR warns... lookout!

Some control is better than a free for all GR, lets take drugs for example, they are illegal but the streets will never be free of them, does this mean the governments should say fuck it, lets just make all drugs legal???
Just because people are sitting infront of their pc's in the comfort of their own home doesnt mean they have no social responsibility.

Good on them.

All illegal content should be filtered, especially Child Pornography and any known sites linked to Al Qaida or Jamah Islamiyah etc.

What Australia does not do is ban any site which is derogatory to the country or any of it's leaders. Australia is renowned for taking the piss, and is probably one of the most free and liberal nations in the whole world. Democracy is very much intact in Australia and this is not at risk. You should concentrate on Democracy in Cyprus, because you are at risk of losing yours when you are somehow "forced" to buckle and accept an "Annan Type" solution which will see you deviate from the type of democracy I have in my country.

Sorry, I can't compare the Internet with drugs. They’re two totally irrelevant things. I'll wager that if this filtering/banning goes ahead you'll end up with 2-3 things being banned that everyone agrees with and hundreds of others that everyone does not.

Thanks GR, there are a few descendants of the Hasan Bulli's here in australia, from my mother side.
