already stopped with music, movies and TV shows. I've decided to
seek out classical works, literature, looked at other cultures,
meet the people that create such works, etc. (Its actually far
better than the crap that's been generated out today).  This
Govt (Labor) wants to push mandatory content filtering for all
ISPs. Their excuse is porno. ie: "Think of your children!"
What's wrong with the approach is that to opt out, you need to
contact your ISP, so you're put on a whitelist. (Such a list can
be used by authorities).  The previous Govt (Liberal) provided
content filtering software for free to all Aussie families,
letting them choose whether they want filtering or not. They
knew it would be realistically unworkable to enforce mandatory
content filtering at the ISP level.  Now, this Govt (Labor)
brings up this "3-strikes you're out" nonsense? Realistically,
its not gonna work. W
