James Riley and Andrew Colley write on Australian IT:
Australia's two largest internet service providers have yet to commit to the Tasmania-wide trial of porn filtering technology being championed by Liberal backbencher Senator Guy Barnett.More here.
Unhappy with government efforts to limit the amount of pornography available to children online, Senator Guy Barnett has set up his own internet filtering trial in Tasmania to test its effectiveness in blocking X-rated content.
Two content filtering companies had offered to trial free of charge the removal of pornography and extreme violence from internet feeds across Tasmania for three months, Senator Barnett said.
Sydney-based Internet Sheriff Technology and US-based Rulespace will offer the free filtering service for three months from the middle of the year.
