Great Firewall Report

In Today's Crikey, there was an interesting piece on a report by the Brooklyn Law School doing a report on Australia's Great Firewall Clean Feed Filter. The Report, titled Filtering in Oz: Australia's Foray into Internet Censorship, is one of the first reports by a neutral foreign school to explore the subject. I do like this quote from the report:

[Australia] "will likely become the first Western democracy to block access to on-line material through legislative mandate."

Of course, as I have said before, It is Very VERY Easy to just bypass these types of filters anyway.
