    As long as their looking like they are doing something right? I mean just because the filter can be bypassed in seconds doesn't mean it's not effective. /sarcasm

    10 year old kids know that to source anything you torrent, and filters cannot stop torrents. So why 'experts' say that implementing this filter will prevent child porn access, is beyond me.

    I'm fairly certain it's a ruse to implement a monitoring system, rather than a filter. At least ASIO will be able to track down targets of interest with greater ease, but who is going to monitor the monitors?

    Telsta and optus are so stupidly expensive they should be offering something extra, don't think this filter is quite it though.

    But that's just what the government wants the reaction to be, and why they say it is their main concern.

    Anyone seeing opposing this 'filter', will be labeled as someone who wants access to child exploitation material.

    Its people like you that cause stupid things like this to get done.

    Yeah it begins with the whole "protect the children" line then soon enough they start blocking anyone or anything that opposes them.....

    Funny thing is. Optus cant afford to filter content at the moment. Their international speeds have been in the gutter for almost 6 months now. Adding a filter is going to do wonders to fix their problems.

    All for restricting sites that depict child abuse etc. but as said, it's only going to 'shift' the problem.

    What I have a problem with is today it's 'criminal' sites, tomorrow it's politically incorrect sites, eventually we'll have access to one website telling us how we've been saved from the evils of the web by these policy makers. So for now, good on them, but lets wait and see

    Problem is blocking Child Porn websites is about... 10 years in the past?

    Now its all shared through private P2P.

    So yeah...the point of this is?

    There is no legislation and it is all voluntary. Maybe people should read more than the first paragraph before starting a rant.

    ooh not just a fail, but an EPIC FAIL!!!

    If you were arguing against censorship in principle I would agree.

    The only way in which this filter is voluntary is if you have the choice to change ISP. If you use Telstra or Optus, you will be filtered, no matter what you say. There is no Opt Out from the consumer.

    The ORIGINAL filter was voluntary on bahalf of the ISP. That has been sidelined and Optus and Telstra have taken it upon themselves to pick up a part of it.

    It says "Volunatary" but it means the its voluntary opt in from the ISP, the consumer has no say.
