Australia introduces web filters
Found on BBC News on Tuesday, 15 December 2009
Australia intends to introduce filters which will ban access to websites containing criminal content.
A seven month trial in conjunction with ISPs found the technology behind the filter to be 100% effective.
Mr Conroy said the filters included optional extras such as a ban on gambling sites which ISPs could choose to implement in exchange for a grant.
100% is a risky number. It's hard to believe that the filter will keep this "promise" when shoved down the throat of every australian citizen. After all, projects like TOR were created to fight egainst problems like this one. It has been mentioned that not even 100 people participated in the test (none of the big ISPs participated), so this percentage is easy to get.
