All the more reason for me to pack up and go to Japan. Geez I'm sick of this stupidity... Does this mean that ISPs will be more suspicious of those who want to "opt out"? And more importantly, will 4chan be blocked?Dragonclaw wrote:

AUSTRALIANS will be forced to contact their internet service provider to avoid having their access to the web restricted.
Under the plan, all internet service providers will be required to provide a "clean" feed to households and schools, free of pornography and other inappropriate material.
Seriously though, how weird would the call be to your ISP?
Op: "Hi, <random isp>, <random name> speaking. How can I help you?"
You: "Yeah, hi. I'd like my "filter" removed."
Op: "You mean the family-safe filter which protects people from unnecessary viewings of violence and sexual acts?"
You: "Well, I don't want to see violence and sex at the same time, of course..."
*silence*
