Australia’s NetAlert Program Ends
Since 2007 the Australian government has been giving away PC-based filters to residents of Australia for free. The new year brought with it an end to this program. The program was terminiated by Senator Conroy about 6 months before it was originally scheduled to terminate.
No government sponsored program is available to replace the NetAlert program as Senator Conroy continues to investigate the possibilities of ISP level filtering. The future of the ISP filtering plan remains uncertain as it faces public opposition and technical hurdles.
In the meantime, parents interested in protecting thier kids online wil have to look to commercial solutions like Safe Eyes.
