Why is a free internet important? Australia has no free speech protections. Politicians can introduce laws regarding restricting any material. Minority, conservative, special-interest groups can influence the government to ban harmless fun. Our censorship board bans legitimate material to pacify these groups. Everyone just blindly follows. In my opinion this wastes time and money. This is my line in the sand.
As part of its commitment to examine the introduction of ISP-level filtering, the Australian Government conducted a live ISP filtering pilot in 2009 to provide valuable information on the effectiveness and efficiency of filters installed in 'real world' ISP networks.
The pilot was managed by Enex Testlab, an independent testing laboratory.
