The Null Device

Surprise, surprise: Connections between filtering software manufactorers and conservative religious groups. In the US, censorware is mandated by law in public schools; and while firms keep their blocked lists a secret and downplay connections to religious groups, it's likely that school students' access to the Net is shaped to conform to religious-Right ideology, with sites about everything from non-traditional religion to sexual orientation being blocked.

The same Fundamentalist-linked firms provide the mandatory censorware required to be supplied with all ISP accounts in Australia, which probably suits Senator Alston just fine.
