G'day Ryszard,
that report is over 2 years old and while there is significant noise being made about mandatory filtering here, in reality there isn't much happening. Many of the ISP's who put their hand up to be guinea pigs for testing have since withdrawn their agreement.

It is a political "warm potato" - not hot 'cos it's not really in the forefront of everyones thinking but certainly "warm". Just another of our wonderful Prime Minister and his party's worthless rhetoric. The real worry is they might actually succeed*.

However, there are some US sites that detect non-US IP ranges and restrict access to content to users outside the US. I imagine there are other countries doing this as well, but I've certainly seen US sites prevent me from accessing stuff. Interestingly they seem to be predominantely music related.

* Personally I'm in two minds about filtering. On the one hand, making porn and other undesireable content inaccessible to our pre- and teen aged children I believe has definite benefits, but I worry about the loss of freedom too. Once the flood gate is opened, where does it stop?

You're only paranoid if you're wrong!
