I highly doubt they'll get the support they need for it in parliament

Very true. So far I have been seeing very little support for the filter. And so far all his arguement have been blaming people for being Pro Child Porn when in reality that is not want they are point. The point is that this filter will cover more than just CP. And conroy does not seem to want to let people not want in his big list of "illegal" websites.
 
Re: HELP US!!!

But really, i don't think it will effect you that much.

The only things they could deem innapropiate is pornography and those islamic sites where you can watch people be beheaded.

News sites, forums like these, youtube, game sites, they will all stay which is what people use the internet for 99% of the time. Okay people watch porn lots to, but hey there's always magazines...


I will sign it anyway, just incase they do want to go around blocking access to decent sites, like sickipedia.org.
 
Re: HELP US!!!

And if a legitimate site gets blocked? The data from the users in the test run showed that 3.4% of the sites blocked were legitimate and shouldn't have been blocked. That's a BIG error percentage. Assuming there's 1 billion websites, 34 million will be blocked wrongly.

And there's a LOT more than just a billion websites, doing a google search for 'www' returns over 20 billion results, searching just Australian sites gets 340 million which means 11 million wrongly blocked.

And it's not just blocking legitimate sites, it'll also slow down my internets! Rerouting such a large amount of traffic is def gonna cause problems.
 
Have you guys read the report? Ill quote my own post on Whirlpool forums:

Am i reading something wrong in the report? On page 34/35 the graphs show a reduction of speed in some cases from 4.5mbps(unfiltered) to 1.9mpbs(filtered). Upload speed on one area showed from 3.8mbps(unfiltered) to 0.9mbps(filtered)....

What the heck??

According to Conroy, that's acceptable.

And ping increases of around 40%?
 
Way to ruin the internet in this country, I'll actually be very surprised now if this gets implemented.
 
I have just merged the HELP US!!!! Thread with The Geat One For All Australian FIrewall

Way to ruin the internet in this country, I'll actually be very surprised now if this gets implemented.

Especially with the way that conroy keeps presenting in himself with not real finding and accusing any one that is against him as Pro-Child Porn.

It's no surprise that conroy desided to bring this up again now. If a politition has an agenda which is not going to be populare with every one else, they seems to wait just in time just before christmas to talk about it because they know that no one is going to do any thing about it over the Parilment Holiday break.
