Net porn filter

I wonder how many of you have heard of this filter that the Federal Government has released? Did you know that they are looking into filtering from the ISP level, rather than individual pcs? What do you think this means for internet use and how our Government sees us as a society? Below is a link about a 16 year old who cracked one of the first versions of one of the filters. Its a funny story.

It also made me realise that there seems to be some kind of misunderstanding of what the internet is. I get the impression from reading comments made about internet porn by reactionaries, such as those in the above article, that the internet is as accessible as walking down the street. The second thing I get is that children must always be looking for porn and that as soon as they can they will look up porn.

When I was a teenager and I wanted to see porn, I asked someone and soon enough, there it was - presented in magazine format. I never looked for it again. Do these people in charge really think that we are breeding a generation of porn addicts by allowing children to use the internet? What ages are they targeting? Who are the most "at risk"? Are these the children that probably should be supervised in their internet use? Does the government think that informed adults cannot make decisions for their own children using existing technologies that they purchase themselves? Surely they must realise that those parents who do not make informed decisions are those that have more pressing and urgent situations on their hands, like poverty and cannot afford a computer, let alone the internet and their children often get into way more trouble and is more at crisis than a child who deliberately looks up porn on the internet.

In my own browsing experience, porn can only be found if you are actually looking for it. The accidental stumble across porn is ridiculous. I keep getting the impression that porn on the internet is everywhere and that children will be attacked by it. In life we keep sex behind doors, but we show the imagery and concept everywhere, particularly in advertising. There seems to me to be a strange corruption of protection here. I do not know what the answer is, or even what the question is, but I do know if ISPs get filtered, I am leaving this country and moving to a country which has more respect for its citizens.
