???????? i dont know much about the computer science behind such websites, and if you do then that raises some questions >:l
you dont need to know computer science to know that.

its what ive been mentioning about how govts cant block FTPs.

FTP was established in 1971 m8.

The first FTP standard was RFC 114, published in April 1971, before TCP and IP even existed. This standard defined the basic commands of the protocol and the formal means by which devises communicate using it. At this time the predecessor of TCP (called simply the Network Control Protocol or NCP) was used for conveying network traffic.

What about the police who have to investigate this stuff browsing through hundreds/thousands of images on the internet and pedophiles computers after they get caught? Does that raise some questions also?

But more to the point.. why are you commenting in these threads if you have no idea how the internet works?
Obviously the police are all pedophiles. Especially within the child abuse unit. Duh.

whats the point of censorship of this manor when its not going to affect the distribution of child porn. plus a kid is still gonna see a pair of tits regardless of internet censorship.
it has an affect! it doesn't matter if it doesn't solve all of humanities problems! no policy can do that. stop being so negative and accept that this is the direction australia is heading. we are solving parts of problems at a time, because it is downright stupid to think we have superhero politicians.

m8.

one does not need to access a website to download restricted content.

There's such a thing as FTP, and no matter what the gov does, they cant filter that.
(unless ruddy turns to china for help)

but yeh, it blocks out content via the web, thats good. But still it fails. (loopholes everywhere)
and it doesnt take one more than 30minutes to learn about bypassing filters.
i dont think the genuine people would go against the government and bypass. i disagree to that, however easy you say it is. its not about that - its about ethics.

sources m8?

besides, i was pointing out how easy it was to bypass a filter.
my source is public knowledge - we have an ageing population and not many older australians are familiar with such technology. just look up australian bureau of statistics and find out our population pyramid. if you think that a majority of older australians (who make up the bulk of our population) knows how to do that, and has to lack of moral to do that - than prove it.

Lauchlan can you please re-address your original statement implying that there is child porn on websites and this filter will stop the viewing of said child porn?
im not quoting from any government documents so i will not go back into that doomed argument. but ill say this - many australians will try to search for something, and if its blocked they will give up and try something else. its human nature. we are not a dominant population with illegal actions taken to avoid policy, despite what the minorities are saying.

CP websites are already banned.
CP hosting is punishable by prosecution.
The AFP already monitors CP download and creation.
The AFP does what the filter does.
This does the exact same and is actually monitored. Net Nanny Filter Software - Lowest Download Price
Government can easily send out these Net Nanny Filter Software - Lowest Download Price to any parent who want to protect their children from titties.
Get a clue about what is actually happening you prepubescent knob.

Exactly, negative, going backwards, like china.

m8. you lost the convo. now you're resorting to petty name calling?;)
discuss with facts, not with slaps.
i am discussing the facts. and the fact is that yes, this generation of australians are more computer-literate than the last.

but we are not a majority of citizens that resort to illegal practises (alternative IP addresses ect.)

those are the facts, dont try and butter them up with "computer nerd" terminology. face the facts. or eat them in your defeat.

Yeah, its called P2P you imbecile.

And when has information on anorexia, bulimia and self harm articles been illegal?


And minorities? Like 80% of Australians dont want the fucking filter.

What is accurate about saying the filter will stop the distribution of CP?

Because it wont?

In other words:
"What's the point in government if they don't try to intervene everywhere?"
we dont live in a perfect society, therefore issues need to be addressed, sometimes in the form of political action (policy). its not intervening - you're just so used to liberals lack of anything.

lol the term 'nerds' are used by those with those with a low level of intellect describing those who are smarter than them i.e. majority of society.
there are different definitions of 'nerds' held by different people and you know that. nice try though - you almost had a point.
