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.

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?

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*

give it a year or two before the ISP's come back and tell the feds to shove it up their asses. the idea that they can block porn on the internet is the dumbest thing that could possibly be put into legislation. And to introduce fines for not doing so? Bahahaha.

"We have always argued more needs to be done to protect children," he said.

#1 reason I'm never having kids: "F you, I don't have kids to protect."

A report by the Australia Institute in 2003 showed 84 per cent of boys and 60 per cent of girls using the internet had experienced unwanted exposure to sexual material.

Yeah, I used that excuse too back in the day, "No mom, it's a popup I swear -- they just happen on sites, damn ads!"

Apart from the fact that there will never be agreement about what material is unacceptable, no workable filter has ever been created. It's just not possible to do it.

1: 'omg its for the children!' fuck that, if you're not sensible enough to not add '1m4cr34p' to your 11 year old's msn, you don't deserve interwebs.

yeah as chuy said, fuck em they're not my kids.

2: you have to send an email to your ISP Plus call them to get this thing gone, lol wut? I know it'll stop some guy spaming an ISP with everyone's address 'please let me see porn' for someone's unsuspecting PC, Wheres the fun in that!

So I'm going out to get a 500gig drive and max out my adsl until then. Even if it doesn't happen lol.

Cant. A ticket costs 800 and an Ak costs 150. Plus 10 bucks per 30 round mag.

Get the AK first, then rob a bank and buy a private jet with the money.

AUSTRALIANS will be forced to contact their internet service provider to avoid having their access to the web restricted.

The restrictions are planned by the Federal Government to give greater protection to children from online pornography and violent websites.

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.

Any internet users who want to "opt out" of the clean feed will have to contact their ISP.

No. Fucking. Way...

Why did I vote for this guy?!

Man, what a crock of shit. If people would just be good parents and supervise their children we wouldn't have to have this.

I think it's going to turn out like my high school's internet filter - it blocked all of the sites we needed for class because it had games on it.

Ah, that was so shit. Seriously, what else did they expect us to do in our free... 'study' periods at school?

Bad idea. Fbi is called in for every bank robbery and after 9/11 they dont screw around.
