The 100% accuracy is probably regarding the list of filtered IP addresses, Peter... as in none of the listed IP addresses would get through.
A recent Radio National news update announced that our current government is planning on legislating the filter in the next monthâits a given once the legislation is passed, irrespective of any ISP's intended compliance.
Personally, Internet filter good *grunt*. Its not a freedom of speech issue... its all about protecting the innocent eyes of our youth, not protecting the seedy underground or young perverts that find ways around the filter. We ban a number of profanities outside the Internet so why should inside be any different?
The only aspect of the filter i can't wrap my head around is the hidden list of blocked IP addresses, i heard a pundit say that the filter is pointless without the IP block list being hidden, how exactly!? Anyways, in my opinion the block list should be available to the public or at the very least be partially transparent.
