Labor will make ISPs filter porn on Net

<http://smh.com.au/news/National/Labor-will-make-ISPs-block-net-porn/2006/03/21/1142703333305.html>

"Labor's plan to protect children from online pornography and graphic violence has been backed by family groups, but dismissed by the government and internet industry.

Opposition Leader Kim Beazley said a Labor government would force internet service providers (ISPs) to block violent and pornographic material before it reached home computers.

Under the "clean feed" system, pioneered in Britain, users would be unable to access any content banned by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) because it contained graphic sexual or violent material, rated R or higher."

No porn for Aussies.

1. Australia and the UK lead the way...

when it comes to restrictions on personal freedoms. We usually follow suit 5-10 years later.
