The filter would block Refused Classification content which includes child pornography, bestiality, extreme violence, terrorist activities, and drug use. “The RC content list of URLs provides direct access to child abuse material so it cannot be published the way a list of prohibited book titles or movies can be,” Senator Conroy said.
Three of the nation’s largest ISPs, Telstra, Optus, Primus, have agreed to block child abuse material based on a list of URLs created by Australian Communications and Media Authority.
