Administrator DKT27 Posted December 16, 2009 Administrator Share Posted December 16, 2009 Australia moves toward mandatory ISP filteringmandatoryMandatory ISP filtering legislation will be introduced in Australia around the middle of 2010, after which there will be a one-year period to implement and activate the filtering technology. The Australian federal government on Tuesday announced it will introduce amendments to the Broadcasting Services Act, which will by 2011 require all ISPs to block refused-classification-rated material hosted on overseas servers. As part of the new legislation, the government intends to explore what additional process could be implemented around how Web sites are added to the government's "Refused Classification" (RC) list. The obvious contender for the new RC list's oversight is the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA), which manages a list of locally hosted illegal content, and issues so-called "take-down" notices to local operators.

CODYQX4 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 If this becomes common, we will see the rise of VPN and SSL services , which will also make it harder for antipiracy organizations to catch pirates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
