The Internet Industry Association welcomes the release of
the Pilot Trials of ISP filtering and its consultation paper on mandatory ISP
filtering.
For over ten years, the IIA worked with industry and
government in solutions to promote a safer internet environment particular for
children.
"In this regard we share the Government's commitment
for a safe internet experience."
The IIA recently updated its list of family friendly
filters that comply with Enex TestLab’s strict criteria offering sound cyber
safety solutions for families seeking such protections.
This puts a safer internet experience within the grasp of
every Australian family and it is a solution to the problem posed by internet
pornography that is simple, safe, effective and available right now,"
Peter Coroneos said.
In addition the IIA's Family Friendly ISPs schemes refer
all users to filtering options on an opt-in basis as required.
The Association will review the report and take steps to
consult widely within the industry and consolidated contribution that reflects
views of all aspects of the internet industry.
"We are particularly keen to hear from the smaller
ISPs who may be affected more by some of the proposed measures," Coroneos
said.
Additionally the IIA would like to draw attention to an
important academic study - Untangling the Net due for release tomorrow. It considers the
implications of adopting "Refused Classification" as the foundation
for classifying matter that should be mandatorily suppressed.

executive.
