Australia: Labor Party Plans to Make ISPs Block Porn
An AAP newswire article, via Autralian IT, reports that:
Internet service providers (ISPs) will be forced to block violent and pornographic material before it reaches home computers if Labor wins the next federal election.More here.
Under the policy, announced by Opposition Leader Kim Beazley, international websites would be banned by the Australian Communications and Media Authority if they contained graphic sexual or violent material, rated R or higher.
The bans would be maintained by ISPs.
The policy aims to protect the two-thirds of Australian households where no internet filters are in place because of a lack of technical knowledge or cost.
