IN an unprecedented move, Australia's communications regulator has
threatened to fine a company up to $11,000 a day for indirectly
leaking part of its top-secret list of banned internet web pages.

The action by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA)
has wide ramifications for media companies, online publishers, web
hosting suppliers and any organisation that publishes feedback from
readers or customers on their website. 

On March 10, ACMA issued Sydney web hosting company Bulletproof
Networks with an "interim link-deletion notice" for allowing its
customer, the Whirlpool internet community website, to post the link
to an anti-abortion web page blacklisted by the regulator.
