Now you know the big push to "internationalize" the internet -- every nation out there is going to have its own list of approved and non-approved (illegal) sites.
I wonder how long it will take for us to start seeing stories about some of the completely benign sites that the Australian government doesn't want folks to see? Or companies get squashed because they fall on the wrong side of the filter police?
Better still, is it possible for start-ups to purposely bypass the filters? Perhaps this is good news, eh? New line of business opening up -- accessing "bad" sites that aren't really bad. (And I don't mean simple proxy services, more like finding popular commercial sites on the other side of the firewall and being the man-in-the-middle between the two parties. Heck-- you could charge on either, or both, sides of that arrangement)
