Australia announces mandatory internet filters - Users must opt out for full access

This is a mandatory ISP side content filter for porn and violent websites that will be included in all ISP plans. Do not confuse this with filtering software. Websites are instead blocked at the ISP level.

"Senator Conroy says anyone wanting uncensored access to the internet will have to opt out of the service."

What will this mean for the following sources of traffic?...

- Young men still living at home.
- College students.
- Married men whose wives are against porn.
- Men who are too ashamed to request that the porn filter be shut off.


Luckily this sort of thing has already been struck down in the US since it inadvertently nets educational websites.
