hi all
I think its pretty similar to the australian situation.
any protest against censorship here, which comes from many areas
including child protection authorities themselves,
has seemed to be of no avail in the face of the words "child
pornography"
that family friendly politically useful tip of the regulation iceberg..
here is an article i wrote for realtime recently which is a non-
technical overview of the situation in australia and net net
neutrality issues would wide
http://www.realtimearts.net/article/95/9777
and or if u don't like to read - a campaign video to watch from Get Up
in australia (do you have sensodyne toothpaste in NZ?)

i don't understand - what is being filtered? why? and in what
form? black bars instead of images? the scoop article doesn't
really say anything about this, anyone have any more details? i
assume they're looking for child porn or something..
Yep, it seems so. Though in practice citizens would be none the
wiser if other
content was also being filtered/inspected!

(love the fact one of the ISPs is called 'Watchdog').
