对于Internet filtering的看法，我认为中科院在此取得国际前膽不菲的成绩！包括强大的互联网分崩离析技术，致敬！

　　Opponents to the government's Internet content filtering scheme will take to the streets in a series of protests planned in Australia's capital cities.
　　The protests, organised by members from activist groups including the Electronic Freedom Project and Digital Liberty Coalition, will be held at Sydney's Town Hall, Brisbane Square, Melbourne's State Library, Adelaide Parliament House, Perth's Stirling Gardens and at Tasmania's Parliament Lawns.
　　Participants have created Facebook groups and a YouTube video to rally support and direct activists to the events. Opposition and Greens senators have expressed interest in attending the protests.
　　The government initiative, funded as part of the government's $125.8 million cyber safety plan, will impose mandatory ISP-level Internet content filtering nation-wide, and will block Web pages detailed in two blacklists operated by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA).
　　Prescribed filtering technology, short-listed following a July trial, will be tested again by ISPs during the Christmas period.
　　A spokesperson from one of the country's largest ISPs, who requested anonymity, told Computerworld he expects the filters to fail because the prescribed filtering technology is unsuitable for most networks.
　　Sources privy to the pilot's EOI documents say the trial will be restricted to 12Mbps — a small fraction of ISP network connections — which they say will undermine the final test results.

　　Critics made similar comments after the filtering technology was tested last July against a simulated load of 30 users. They said even the most accurate filter, which returned a 94 percent accuracy rating, would incorrectly block up to 10,000 Web pages out of 1 million.
　　The trial is expected to use a blacklist of 10,000 banned Web pages, using the rumoured 1300-page blacklist held by the ACMA mixed with dummy data.

澳大利亚政府最近开始一系列防火墙测试，用来过滤那些会危害儿童的网站。
‘网络安全计划’耗资126000000澳元，预计将于4年内部署完毕。目前争议的焦点在于这套系统能否真的能达到预期目标。
这套系统将拥有一个黑名单，那些上了黑名单的网站将无法在澳大利亚境内访问。因此，也有一些人士担心政府会把它用作其他用途。
而且该系统只能过滤网站内容，经P2P传输的内容无法监测到。所以也有人考虑通过加强家长控制系统来实现保护孩子的目标。

我们应该继续跟踪进度，对Solidot的《澳大利亚网络过滤技术规格发布》消息，IT评论家Keso如是说：“真累，为什么不考虑直接向中国购买GFW的licence呢？”

澳大利亚宽带、通信和数字经济（DBCDE）部公开了即将于12月24日启动的ISP级别网络过滤现场试验的技术规格(PDF)。
测试目的是观察多种网络过滤产品的表现，以及在实时情况下过滤既定黑名单（URL）的效果，观察系统是否能阻止“不受欢迎的内容”被终端用户接受。试验是自愿性的，要求ISP从网络内容过滤供应商那儿选择现成的商业过滤硬件，增加到自己的网络中，然后载入他们选择的ACMA（澳大利亚通信与媒体管理局）黑名单。ACMA黑名单目前包含1300个网站，可以通过用户投诉增加新地址，名单有可能增长到1万个。
