5 Ways around the filter in 2 minutes

I definitely do not support an internet filter for Australia.

I saw the Family First party the other day spouting how great it was going to be.  Lets face it, only ignorant people believe such a filter will achieve anything productive.  The representative clearly didn't know what she was talking about in regard to a whole range of topics though but that's not surprising.

So, if anything, this video shows just how ridiculous the filtering efforts are:

I think that if they can legitimately, and that's the key word, find sites that need to be blocked then that should be taken up with the service providers hosting such sites but I'd like to see what the criteria is for such banning.

You can check out the leaked blacklist here -->

I must admit, it's an interesting list and apparently only a portion of those sites proposed.

It's all very very bad.
