Web Freedom

This filter is the dumbest thing i have seen the govt try and do in a very long time. Only an ignorant person would try and pass this off as 'protecting children'. it wont. It will not stop anything conroy claims it will, it will not make the internet safer. Who will pay the ongoing costs for it? I dont want to, i dont have kids and i dont want my net filtered. ISPs wont, and apparently after the initial govt payment, they wont either. That means end users will end up forking out for something that will not work. Guess thats about par for the govt. In the current economy, how can labor validate spending this amount of money for this? Surely there are more important things to spend this money on, instead of pissing it away on a project that is guaranteed to fail. This is irresponsible of the labor govt, less than a year into power. The only reason i dont ask for conroy to be fired is that so far he has stood upto telstra. a replacement might not. Spend the money cutting out the heart of the child porn problem rather than wasting it on this.
