国家赞助的URL过滤

我正在澳大利亚的四个城市进行网络战争演讲。澳大利亚要求互联网服务提供商过滤特别冒犯性内容的计划引发了大量讨论。在很大程度上，这被吹捧为一项在多个层面上的儿童保护行动，一是通过屏蔽儿童色情内容，二是通过限制澳大利亚儿童将接触到的东西。这一政策与美国不干涉的做法形成了鲜明对比。他们的想法是，父母有责任限制孩子接触的内容，国家无权决定内容的好坏。虽然一位工程师看到了被屏蔽网站的建议列表，他向我保证这些网站确实是令人讨厌的攻击性内容的集合，但仍然有人担心政府会过多地参与到澳大利亚人可以看到的日常管理中。一旦国家过滤服务到位，是否会有特殊利益集团要求过滤其他内容?仇恨网站呢?那解释如何制造炸弹的网站呢?那些张贴有潜在攻击性的宗教图标漫画的网站怎么办? Filtering, as practiced by China and soon Australia is a boon to network security vendors. But it is a shame that it comes at the expense of reduced freedom of information. Governments should back off these filtering schemes and wait for the markets to step in. There is a great opportunity for ISPs to offer Parental Control services for instance. The market will be able to keep up with changes in technology. Imagine a government that dictated spam filtering. That department would quickly absorb the government's entire budget!
