Personal Filtering Possible

The Australian government has been all over the industry media over the past several months because of its attempts to block online casino gambling all over the country at the ISP level. There is a lot of controversy right now from those concerned with internet censorship and its effect on free speech laws. Senator Stephen Conroy has spearheaded the new filtering and censorship laws. The most controversial part of Conroy’s proposed new policy is the Australia-wide ban on online caisno gambling. The other part of the legislation is actually pretty strong – Conroy wants every Australian household to have the ability to filter the internet content streaming into their homes.

This is a measure that is aimed at really protecting the nation’s youth from dangerous content on the internet. Many Australians though argue that they should have the personal right to block the online casinos in the same way they would any of the rest of the filtered content. Just like in the United States, the citizens are pushing for more autonomy. If the filtering system works, and the premise is to protect underage gamblers from online casino gambling sites, then there is no reason for the government to step in and further restrict the rights of Australians…at least, that’s the theory.

The new filtering and online casino gambling banning process will cost the Australian government as much as $128.5 million to implement. Conroy has noted that the emphasis is not only on implementing the new filtering system but also on educating Australians about how to effectively use the system to protect their homes.
