Comments on: New Zealand’s government internet filter is already running http://techliberty.org.nz/nz-filter-now-operational/ Defending civil liberties in the digital age Sun, 29 Jan 2012 06:06:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Logan http://techliberty.org.nz/nz-filter-now-operational/comment-page-1/#comment-1878 Logan Sat, 13 Mar 2010 19:52:20 +0000 http://techliberty.org.nz/?p=516#comment-1878 This is disgusting, our government is filtering what we can and cannot see via the filter - This is not good. Our govt already fines us for stepping out of line already, we get enough moderation as it is in society. Why do we need a internet filter for 3-5 million people? Australia needs the filter but why do we? Are we a dangerous group of people or something? Enforcing a web filter will not actually do anything, because all the pedophiles who want to get passed the filter can just use an international proxy or a VPN. So how is this super duper DIA filter going to stop my encrypted traffic? They can't.... What a big waste of tax payers money. Why spend several million dollars for a filter that WILL NOT TARGET PEDOPHILES. Also - The filter has logging compatibility. Consider all your web viewing activities BREACHED. a member of the DIA would have viewed what you are doing. Don't let them tell you that they don't, because of course they would log all data - Its an easy way to tap in for the govt's intelligence agency that have a few big domes that got popped not so long ago by a bunch of stoners. Anyway, I hope this comment gets through. Because everyone needs to know - The web filter can be bypassed, I would be happy to show an example.
