Australia Rejects Internet Filtering

Submitted by nart on 2 December, 2004 - 10:13.

Australia's government has rejected a call to implement Internet filtering to target child pornography. The government cited concerns about cost and the effect of filtering mandates on small ISPs, deciding instead to emphasize education. The problem with filtering is that it's hard to block only the targeted content.
