To think such a thing could befall PC Pals. :)

I expect the UK will be next to filter us. :dunno:

Us, or the forum, Clive? :(
-
I wonder if there'll be a filter for Clive's jokes? :)x

the way it reads it will block anything above a 10 year old mentality :o

Oh they would love to filter out all the over 60's. It would save them a fortune in pension payments!

Government interference on parental responsibilities really gives me the sh*ts. If parents can't be responsible for what their children watch, then they shouldn't be parents. Same with discipline, it should be up to teachers to discipline kids, the kids should be disciplined at home and be well behaved enough to attend school. And if not, suspended from attending until they are.
For goodness sake, parents should either get the appropriate software or what ever it is you need, or have computer access supervised. No brainer really.
I told Michael when he was younger, that if he accessed anything that he shouldn't, he wouldn't have the computer.

Here's a good example of school policy, suspend the entire year.
Exclusive school suspends all of year 12.

Even more incentive to make sure the little darlings are well behaved. ;)

It's nice to be right occasionally. ;D

Photobucket must have reported me. ;)
There was some interesting suggestions on how to get around it.
Use a VPN
This can be defeated using a VPN tunnel based in another country. VPN is secure, encrypted, and cannot be analysed, monitored, cracked, or sniffed
I own an Internet radio station in Australia, and I have my servers in the United States. So all I have to do is simply login to my server, using the VPN software built into Windows, and what I do online cannot be filtered, monitored, analysed, cracked, or sniffed, becuase it is heavily encypted. If Rudd and his cronies tried to sniff my traffic, all they would get is a bunch of GARBAGE.
Why you do think so many offices that allow remote access require VPN? It is a secure protocol that is impossible to crack.
And there are plenty of subscription VPN services out there, though with the weaking Australian dollar, they would be much more expensive now, but worth the price. Right now, they would run about 30 Australian dollars a month, on average. I advocate people doing this, unless they are like me, and own servers outside Australia.
