- catch23 18y agowouldn't it be easy to verify? just have an external proxy and start comparing html pages from a normal connection. If there are differences in the html dom, then that site should be flagged.

- brc 18y agoIsn't the blacklist an input to the client-based filter the government introduced a year or so ago?
- jhancock 18y agoits my understanding the client was just the beginning. AU is implementing a full-on China-style firewall that sniffs packets on the fly. Welcome to the People's Republic of Australia!!!
- joshsharp 18y agoMr @andrewsayer on Twitter called the ACMA to thank them for publishing the list (ha), and when he did so they inadvertently told him it was indeed the list. Supposedly. The current popular theory is that the list is the ACMA list plus a number of other sites added by the software provider, given this list was supposedly leaked by someone in the company that makes the filter software being trialled. This would explain the "it isn't the list" denials as well as the "how dare you publish our list" outrage.
