But they're actually serious. I read this page at Electronic Fronteirs Australia: http://www.efa.org.au/censorship/mandatory-isp-blocking/ The major flaw with the plan is the bit that requires the OFLC to classify every single site on the internet. When they realise that doesn't work they might go for automated content filtering. When we get to that point, the peasants may well revolt. And I'll be emigrating. Interestingly, the ABC news had a story tonight on how China is censoring the internet and how it's pissing off the foreign journalists there. I desperately want someone in the media to point out that it's exactly what our own government is planning to inflict on us.

Cheers for the kind words Ms Naughty. @Alexis: It will almost certainly be based on a blacklist approach. ISP whitelisting for this sort of thing would be very difficult to manage. Much harder than say a email spam whitelist. Blacklisting filters were trialed and it's what they'll try to use. - Mike Wow. Cheers for the kind words Ms Naughty.

For example, would merely linking to a site /not/ on the whitelist mean that the linking site itself could not be whitelisted? If, on the other hand, they go for a blacklisting approach, would it end up like <a href="http://facthai.wordpress.com/2008/02/21/finland-labels-princess-galyani-portrait-kiddie-porn-effi/" rel="nofollow">the Finnish list</a>?
