I had a professor in college who once said "What is source code? Well it is kinda like Porn. You know what it is when you see it but you can't quite describe it." Maybe the "clean feed internet filter" is something like that?
Having a mandatory Government Internet filter that would automatically block all access in Australia, to overseas websites containing material that is Refused Classification? Refused Classification was defined as Images and information about one or more of the following: child sexual abuse, bestiality, sexual violence, gratuitous, exploitative or offensive sexual fetishes, detailed instructions on or promotion of crime, violence or use of illegal drugs. 80% were in favour, 19% against.
Not that I, personally, am not repulsed by them, but what about banning "promotion" of "...violence or use of illegal drugs?" Is this standard applied in your movie theaters, too. That would keep you "safe" from a lot of Hollywood's productions.
I don't mean to be hard on Aussies - since wide swaths of U.S. population might vote for such censorship. I'm just wondering whether such tight, subjective control is the norm down under?
