The Australian government has abandoned its five-year pledge to introduce a compulsory filter blocking child pornography and other objectionable internet content.

Instead, internet service providers have agreed to block 1,400 child abuse websites on Interpol's 'worst of' list, said Communications Minister Stephen Conroy.

Three of Australia's largest telecommunications companies - Telstra, Optus and Primus - have been blocking the listed sites anyway since 2010.

In other words the Internet companies saw that they would loose between 40% to 65% of their estimated revenus and decided to pay off some politiciens to keep it from becoming a law.

The original law was pathetic - it blocked suicide information websites as well as a whole bunch of other random stuff. It wasn't just tailored towards kiddy porn.

Instead of some ISPs blocking the sites, why doesn't Interpol shut the fucking things down?
