Mark Pesce, along with EFA's Dale Clapperton will be discussing the cleanfeed on ABC Radio National tonight on the Australia Talks call-in show from 6pm AEDT (Sydney time).
A link to the podcast will appear here tomorrow, but if you can listen live and call in!
Edit: A very interesting show, though I for one was not impressed by the proponents of the filter whose arguments, though well phrased, didn't progress much beyond "porn is bad, and we should do whatever is possible to stop it, regardless of whether these nerds say it can work or not." Good work by Dale and Mark telling it how it is.
Listen or download audio of the show.

I can understand the proponents view that blocking access to "harmful" material is good even if it comes with a cost.
What they don't understand is that teenagers WILL, absolutely, get past the filter. This WILL make a mockery of the entire scheme.
How hard is that to understand? There is no technical solution to this issue.
Clive was a disappointment. He said that it's the Government's part responsibility to protect children from harmful content.
That doesn't work. In the same vein, Only people can physically protect a child from sexual assault - the Government doesn't do that. It responds to the aftermath, but it does not prevent the act from taking place.
Parents and only parents are responsible for protecting their children.
