Blocking Criminal Content - Australia's Intention.

I thought this was an interesting story:-

Seeing that we (UK) often follow US and Australian policies, it'll be interesting if it's on the cards for us too? As for my opinion to if it's good or bad, I haven't formed one as yet.

Well, we've already got the BT "Cleanfeed" system coupled with the IWF filter(s), so I'm not sure if we need any more filtering...

Besides, personally, I feel that whilst the internet should be free of "illegal" content more filters will be limiting our rights to free speech when (if) the government decides that we shouldn't be commenting on "X" subject, "Y" policy, etc...
