Australian Teen Cracks Government's Porn Filter

Via Stuff.co.nz.

A 16-year-old schoolboy has cracked the federal government's $A84 million ($NZ93 million) internet porn filter.

Tom Wood, a Year 10 student, told News Ltd newspapers it took him about 30 minutes to break through the government's new filter, released on Tuesday.

Tom, who attends a Melbourne private school, can deactivate the filter after several clicks.

His method ensures the software's toolbar icon is not deleted.

He can leave his parents believing the filter is still working.
