Aust govt to opt for tiered Internet filtering

Senator Conroy’s office has confirmed the Government plans only to introduce mandatory internet filtering for web content that is Refused Classification (RC), with all other explicit content filtered on a voluntary basis by internet service providers.After months of mixed messages on what content would be filtered on a “mandatory” basis and what content on a “voluntary” or “optional” basis, a spokesperson for Senator Conroy told iTnews that mandatory ISP-level filtering will only apply to RC content drawn from complaints made to the ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority).
