A Pile Of Ducks

The internet filter proposal has now got even worse (or well, more laughable really), with Senator Conroy announcing on his latest blog post that the “live” trial will also be testing P2P filtering:

“The Government understands that ISP-level filtering is not a ‘silver bullet’. We have always viewed ISP-level filtering as one part of a broader government initiative for protecting our children online.

Technology is improving all the time. Technology that filters peer-to-peer and BitTorrent traffic does exist and it is anticipated that the effectiveness of this will be tested in the live pilot trial.

Stephen Conroy“

Just keep side stepping questions and changing the proposal (at the last minute, seems rather messy to me) as you see fit, Conroy. Hey, that hole you’re digging for yourself – you may just reach China!
