Zeus_Hunt Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 In an attempt to protect young minds from the large percentage of the Internet that is X-rated, the Australian government commissioned a downloadable porn-filter. The porn-filter, called NetAlert, somehow cost the government around $70 million dollars to set up.Unfortunately, the filter seems easier to get around than a scooter on the freeway with a flat tire. A teen-aged student in a Melbourne private school told reporters that he was able to bypass the filter, and get to rich streams of porno, within 30 minutes of NetAlerts launch. Apparently, all it took was a few mouse clicks. Ironically, the student's name was Tom Wood.Mr. Wood was quoted as saying: "[the porn filter] is a horrible waste of money. They could get a much better filter for a few million dollars made here rather than paying overseas companies for an ineffective one."View : Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
