Internet filtering is a contentious issue here way Down Under in Australia, as it is in other countries.
If compulsory ISP filtering is introduced in Australia -- as is possible, or maybe likely, in the not-too-distant future -- the ACS (Australian Computer Society) has just released a report recommending the creation of an independent oversighting system and an annual auditing process for blackIists.
It makes interesting reading. Take a look at the news release and the full report is downloadable in PDF format.
Much of what it says of course will apply in other countries.
Internet Filtering Software need of today’s worlds. They monitor internet activity, block site access, automatic enforcement of company guideline and reporting of inappropriate behavior. There is more importance attached to an appliance-based solution.
