[LINK] Podcast: The Tangled Web: Beyond an Internet Filter

[George Bray]

http://newmatilda.com presents a series of public forums about the
internet regulation debate in Australia.

The Federal Government's proposal to block internet sites with a
mandatory filter has drawn overwhelming opposition from voices across
politics and civil society. So what are the real questions for
policy-makers?

These forums explore the ethical, social and political questions
raised by government regulation of the internet. With the growing
intersection between technology, politics and media, how do existing
and proposed classification regimes measure up?

Is filtering inevitable? Or are there better ways to regulate the
world wide web?
