The following is a comment sent to my ISP on the inadvisability of the Governments internet "Blocking Policy". Senator Conroy, please look at this from a law enforcement standpoint (not just national but international). Such a decision will also impact upon the "digital economy" that you are supposed to be the minister of... My comment was as follows.. "The forced blocking of sites like child pornography will make it harder for the law enforcement authorities to track these arseholes as they will have to resort to other means of distribution. There is no such censorship or checking on such material going through the post and it is harder to track down the source of posted items that internet sites. This is typical governmental reaction to being lobbied by the stupid and uninformed. DO NOT BLOCK BUT SEEK OUT THESE TWISTED ARSEHOLES AND STOP THEM. There should also be approval for the adoption of all porn sites to change to ".porn" as rejected by the bush government. This would make child filtering so much easier !
