The devil within : Comments

By Rosie Williams, published 30/1/2009

The current debate surrounding the government’s mandatory ISP-level filtering is notable in its superficiality.

Chainsmoker and Ozandy pretty much said it all, but let's also keep in mind that the ACMA blacklist is completely unavailable for public review. Both the criteria for blocking sites and descriptions of the sites themselves will be completely secret. It's a ghastly and anti-democratic proposal.

Oh, and you've found us out, runner. We're against the filtering because we're atheist child-porn enthusiasts who want a bill of rights so that paedophile judges can...enforce...our...access to...

You don't actually read the things you write here, do you?

I’m not sure why Rudd and co didn’t just continue with Howard’s promotion of PC based internet filters. Maybe even making it law that households with minors be obliged to install such filters when they connect to the internet. It seems simple and uncontroversial.
