Free-Market Filtering

The Australian government is considering requiring that Internet service providers in that country install filters which would prevent citizens from accessing tens of thousands of sites that contain "objectionable" material.

Mark D. Rasch,

You make the claim that 'the Australian filtering scheme only seeks to identify and filter child pornography and terrorist information...'

This is incorrect - the current ALP policy calls for the ACMA blacklist to be banned - _more than 50%_ of which is legal content (MA15+, R18+, and X18+ material).

Please verify your facts with ACMA.

Cheers,
Richard
