[LINK] ACS new? submission on ISP filtering

[Craige Hicks]

Oh dear...

Not well proof-read!!
Or perhaps ACS is quoting verbatim from the Internet Industry Association
paper.
Either way, not a good look.

>From page 4:

The Scope of Content Caught by Mandatory Internet Filtering" 1, lists a
number of
hypothetical examples of material that could be caught by mandatory
filtering that
would reasonably be expected to be available by a reasonable adult, such as.
. a sight devoted to debating euthanasia in which some participants
exchanged information about actual euthanasia practices;
. a sit set up by a community organisation to promote harm minimisation in
recreational drug use;
. a site designed to give safe space for young gay or lesbian people to meet
and discuss their sexuality in which some members of the online community
narrated explicit sexual experiences;

Just saw this. It's undated, so I don't know how 'new' it is. But it 
does appear to be more critical and constructive of the proposed 
filtering system. (sorry Philip)

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
