Security Implications for Internet Filtering (Censorship)
Looking at the interest from around the world for Matt’s interview published on Ban.This.Url last month regarding the Australian Government mandatory Internet filtering plan. Not surprisingly, no calls to Securus Global from Senator Conroy’s department to discuss our position. But who are we anyway?
Matt took a different approach to most of the anti-filtering arguments and what should have raised some concerns with the government has been brushed like all other arguments before it. One wonders if Conroy is planning to play this out until he gets the result he wants – ie; trying to outstay the critics. Common sense would say this is a ridiculous position to take (as mentioned over and over here) but who knows what their real plans are. This hasn’t been a transparent exercise from the start. A few of the links worth a look. Heaps more on Google.

Latest update here. I wonder if it will continue to be “delayed”?

Does not matter what Securus thinks. They don’t want to hear from the likes of you. You bad guys you! As you said, they will try to get the final result and work their way around expert’s opinions. We can only hope that they will finally see the light and acknowledge it won’t work! Even then, the spin will make it sound like they were the experts. Wankers!
