Dear Tanner, So let's get this clear, are you intending to erect a 'skynet' and build a terminator technology, running artificial intelligent robots that surpass human monitoring abilities to govern this filtering idea or are they just going to spend that hard-earned money on some software and hardware, that will work only the a surface level, that will probably do nothing but cause problems for our country in the short and long-run, so they can spend more money trying to fix it, then end up trashing this idea in the end? We currently do not have the technology to do this level of filtering that apparently our senator masterminds have so much delusional faith in. The point really is, Stephen Conroy does not have the moral right to subject forceably to all Australians any kind of Internet filtering, as there are none at this stage that are proven to be advanced enough to do what it's meant to do, without disadvantaging side-effects that far outweigh its advantages. If he is so bent on going all out with this Internet filter, he should at least consider it as 'ALPHA' technology (as its most advanced form for a few years) and subject it to only those who wish to sign up for it. I repeat, we currently do not have the technological advancement in this era for an Internet filter to be as effective as we need it to be.
