ISP Filtering: Australians Don’t Want It

The Australian government seems determined to go ahead with plans to filter the internet at ISP level, making people “opt in” if they want to see adult sites.

While the story itself is distinctly biased, the 51 comments listed after it cheered me up immensely. About 95% of them are against ISP filtering, and all make the point that parents shouldn’t expect the government to do their job for them.

It includes this amusing exchange:

DavidLastName: Im sick and tired of wading through a simple limewire download and gettin porn. Get rid of this garbage.

BlzBob: LIMEWIRE? If you allow your children to enter the the local strip joint to get a glass of water, don’t expect the strippers to put some clothes on while they are there.

Classic.
