These Facebook groups should give you some indication of the perception of this misguided solution.

• No Australian Internet Censorship
• We Won’t Accept It – No To Mandatory Internet Censorship In Australia
• No Cleen Feed
• People against mandatory internet filters in Australia
• Rational Voters against heavy-handed internet filtering.
• Australian ISP filtering plan is stupid!
• Australians against Labor’s Internet censorship plans

The solution being offered will not solve the problem described – being seen to do anything despite its destructive impact on an already fragile internet infrastructure, is counter-intuitive to good government.There have to be better options.Australians are already contacting their ISPs and opting out even before it is implemented.

And more news arising – the proposed opt-out is already being watered down

Once again, Conroy seems to be adopting the approach that anyone who questions this policy is somehow a closet paedophile. 

This is obviously the result of lobbying – it can be stopped with a grass roots rejection of the solution offered.
