I heard Stephen Speilberg is making a new movie about an alien that cant phone home -- it's called XT

Byt, >> Back to this way; this filters 'badness' may have been over hyped:

The government runs the filtering server and maintains the blocklist, which it advertises to ISPs using the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). ISP routers then "know" that the best routing path to blocked addresses runs through the government's filtering servers; all other requests route through the conventional Internet as usual and are never scanned or logged by the government.

The WhiteBoxBecause an IP address can host many domains, requests to blocked IP addresses are analyzed by the WhiteBox using deep packet inspection, rather than being blocked outright. If the requests are for non-problematic URLs, they are forwarded on; if they go to a banned site or link, they are blocked, the user's IP address is logged, and a block message appears on the screen.
...
Still, the group would like access to the blocklist to make sure the government stays honest; that request was denied, though the government did set up an "independent reference group" that can review the list.

First of all, -_-

Secondofly, I hear that DW can't spell 'Steven Spielberg'. l2spell Jewish, bro.

Just saw that article on Ars a moment ago. Was going to post about it but I see you beat me.

It seems to not be all that bad, but we'll never be able to tell unless the list of sites and the reason for why these are blocked is publicly available. The list in its most current form with the page title or other such identifier (preferably not the URL so people can't take that and use a proxy or something) and the reason for why the site is blocked should be made publicly available on a govt.nz website.

I wonder if you could write a script that tracerts IP's and finds which go through the filter

or maybe a public forum for people to post sites that they have found to be blocked?

lol. Do you really think someone will join a forum and post "I just tried to go to this site that I get child pr0nography from and I can't get there any more. I guess that's blocked by the government"
