It's impossible to filter the Internet. It's only possible to make it more difficult to for people to get access to what they want. Imposing mandatory internet filtering is a waste of government time, money and effort. If one of the objectives of the filtering is to stop Child Porn, etc; then this has clearly not been thought through. I believe that filtering will encourage paedophiles those services that allow them to continue their sick endeavours. We will drive them to use encrypted proxy serverers located overseas to give them anonymous internet access. This will make it more difficult for law enforcement agencies catch these people. Clearly there are some good intentions with this proposal and we should applaud that. Unfortunately this is not the way to achieve the desired outcome.
