One Of Terry's Corners Of the Online World

As we all know, Little Johnny is trying to protect every kiddie in the country from seeing boobies and minges, so the Fed have offered free web filtering software.

I put it on my laptop and it doesn't block this site or for that matter any of my bittorrent search engines which could be used to supply porn. It also doesn't block usenet access at all, which the pundits tell us is a major source of kiddie porn. Hmm doesn't block the wikipedia page on pornography either... or this site. Of course there are some sites that it does block but any dedicated horny teenager who is too dumb just to give his mates a blank DVD to fill up with the juicy stuff is going to have little trouble accessing the stuff online.

Onya Johnny, 63 million of our dollars spent and there's still plenty of stick material available to the viewing public. As I suspected, it's all just a sop to lock down the Christian votes.

Time for me to uninstall the software.

Yep, it blocks the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras site, except for the first page. Any links from it are gone.

Also blocks http://www.transgendercare.com, gay and lesbian health victoria at http://www.glhv.org.au , http://reachout.com.au which offers advice to gay and lesbian teens. These are the default settings but I also went into the config area and there's no way to unblock the blocks on GLBT info.

Just gets worse, don't it?

The filter software now blocks my LJ. I can post but not see it until I uninstall the software
