So if I agree with Matt's Ridiculous viewpoint is that bad? ;)
The irony in this threat is quite galling.
I cannot imagine the kind of complaints it may have 'contracted'.
That is because I likely have a very different viewpoint.
Different viewpoint, not bad viewpoint. Or offensive, or in
I certainly think that censorship of the internet is a completely relevant
topic. Censorship might of been in place for generations on books, films and
songs but it hasn't been in place (for most countries, including Australia) at

I've always been mindful that this is a Mac user group, and any computer query
that I have that is not specifically Mac related, I do not post here.
Whirlpool for example is a much more appropriate forum for broader policy

That depends entirely on what sort of internet connection I buy. Sure if I use
one of those 3G wireless sticks then yes, my connection is being NAT'd.
If I buy a business internet account then I can get a nice little /16 with a
fully routed connection.
If I buy a fibre connection from Amcom

This post is contracting some complaints, and Matthews response with due
Respect is Ridiculous.
So, I have responded of list to Matthew and apologise to WAMUG.

Hi Matthew,
I would hate to burst your bubble, but if you are connecting via PPoE, you
connection is being NAT'd, monitored and filtered.
This is in response to peoples lack of understanding of how networks function,
do you think ISP's will give people access without some form of control.

I didn't bother with setting up an Open DNS account - I just use their DNS

Evening,
If you are a Telstra customer and connected by such you are being filtered.
DNS as Ronni has stated before is to change an IP address into english, a URL.
Most sites they are chasing are IP based, so the filtering will be done before
it reaches DNS servers.
OpenDNS servers are based
Hi Rob,
Don't confuse filtering with censoring. I can choose not to use SPAM filters or
Virus Scanners. That's the difference.
As Ronni mentioned, the problem is that once the infrastructure is in place to
block web sites at will, then those in power will use that ability to their
advantage.
Hi all,
I personally would like to see a more measured level of discussion on the WAMUG
site. It would be unfortunate if a persons who visits the site looking for
technical knowledge is driven away by fear of a heated political debate. There
are many other places on the internet where we can
Hi,
Political opinions when they relate to information technology issues too?

This is the payoff for winning the NBN contract. You'll note that Internode,
who was very vocal in opposition to the filter, has been all but shut out of
the NBN.
Conroy needs the Family First loonies to support Labor to retain government.
This is what it cost.

Apparently Telstra is now censoring the connections of it's customers.
Initially they appear to be doing it under the guise of child pornography, but
I would expect them to start widening that fairly soon. Stephen Conroy
Different to the Govt.'s filter? I agree with you Matt.
