Inside Internet Filtering

Australian news sources are reporting that the ACMA Blacklist (the sites that Senator Conroy wants to ban as part of his nationwide filtering plan) has been posted to the Internet.  The particular version in question is supposed to be from August 08

ACMA release a statement saying:

ACMA has previously investigated and taken action on material—including child pornography and child sexual abuse images—at some of the sites on this list of 2300 URLs. However, the list provided to ACMA differs markedly in length and format to the ACMA blacklist. The ACMA blacklist has at no stage been 2300 URLs in length and at August 2008 consisted of 1061 URLs. It is therefore completely inaccurate to say that the list of 2300 URLs constitutes an ACMA blacklist

It will be interesting to see what impact this has on the nationwide filtering plan in Australia.
