[ga] Trouble down under for Censorship trials: iiNet Pulls Out of Australian Censorship Trial

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  Well it seems that the service providers are slowly walking
away from the Australian Censorship trials thankfully.  I am
proud of our members putting up significant pressure there
to the extent they did and are still doing to get such errant
government intervention marginalized and hopefully eliminated.

  Now if we could only get the ALAC, ICANN and the GNSO
to do the same and recognize that selective policy, government
or organizationally imposed Censorship is inherently wrong.

iiNet today confirmed its exit from the Australian government's Internet

filtering trials. iiNet had originally taken part in the plan in order
to prove
the filter was flawed. Citing a number of concerns, their withdrawal
leaves
only five Australian ISPs continuing to test the filter.
