Damn, so i guess that means I'm not a free speech absolutist ; ) And yes. re: the qualms about academics and needtoknowers having access to stuff, the blockage of both facebook and youtube at the same time has necessitated my use of hotspot shield , which is pretty damn good. These Government filters aren't a be and end all, but they draw a pretty articulate line in the sand which people may cross at their own risk.

Our workplace can boast at least one kiddy-porn trader behind bars - about 3½ years ago, we got him busted after he took in his PC to get fixed. We rang the cops, who then rang DIA, who sent along a couple of their agents to get the details. Apparently we still have the offender's power supply in our museum cabinet.
Interested in how this goes down. What kind of repairs were required? How well was the incriminating material hidden?

That's an ambiguous construction. Just how dodgy was that flatmate?
ha. The flatmate was ok....a little morbid...the subsequent cactus trip on the other hand was far from ok, No one wants to be chased through the good people of New Brighton's sections at 3am by imaginary murder. But when the sun came up.......

Having been shown people having their throat slashed by an inconsiderate flatmate, and hearing the gargled last gasps for breath, I'd have to disagree with you there Emma.
Sorry, so poorly worded; the throat wasn't slashed by the flatmate. The flatmate thought it would be funny to show me the video.

Nothing else has the same STFU emotional effect

Any mention of snuff sites or other material of a violent nature?
-
And I understand that a lot of people won't. But 'objectionable' is a subjective term. As Craig suggests, what about 'objectionable' material that's used for academic or theraputic purposes? And look at that list:
strange precedent to set or message to send -child pornography above all else in the danger stakes.

i think it would be better if they did block other things, I'm surprised they're not.
-
Maybe I misunderstood, but:
It is, I have to say, a very good scheme as these schemes go. They are only blocking child pornography sites, and blocking to the level of individual pages and images rather than whole sites.
only blocking child pornography? So no other objectionable material is being blocked?

lmfao. this fellow came to mind reading that last paragraph.
