Press Release: Tech Liberty
Govt internet filter going live is sad day for NZ Internet
The Department of Internal Affairs has admitted that the internet filter is now operational and is already being used by ISPs Maxnet and Watchdog. It appears that Maxnet have not told their customers that they are diverting some of their internet traffic to the government system to be filtered.
Thomas Beagle, spokesperson for Tech Liberty, “We’re very disappointed that the filter is now running, it’s a sad day for the New Zealand internet.”
The DIA refuses to say which other ISPs will be joining the filter, claiming the right to negotiate in secret. Tech Liberty understands that Telstra Clear, Telecom and Vodafone have said they will implement the filter, with Orcon, Slingshot and Natcom saying that they won’t.

Clearly we are all going to have to tell Telecom etc to remove filters or we will be going to another ISP!

Wow! They're still actually talking about Telecom in that article! I ars*holed them ages ago! 8)
This has been all over the internet in the last week including several well-known overseas sites :wink: Yes, indeed we are finding out just how much stuff gets tested/utilised here first and just how apathetic & blind the average NZer is. The reason they blatantly do sh*t like this? They know they can very easily get away with it here! :roll:
