ForumsArs Technica has posted an article about a filter that will be applied to Australian internet users.
The article mentions that there will be two tiers. The first is that the filter would block content that are illegal. The second is that the filter would block content that are inappropriate for children. However, users would be allowed to opt-out in this second tier.
In a report by the government’s own Communications and Media Authority, results show that in five out of six filters, the performance of the network decreased by over 20 percent.
