Australian Censorship-client side filters

mikecheng writes "The Internet Industry Association in Australia has decided
how it will implement the new censorship laws in this country - mandatory
cliet-side filtering. Read here how you must use net-filtering software
(NetNanny and the like) and you must supply to your ISP a "a guarantee [you]
are using client-side filtering". Of course you have to be using one of the
"approved" filtering programs, or else the ISP charges you $5 and filters for
you. (Now all I need is an approved open source filter!) "
