The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) has the power to enforce content restrictions on Internet content hosted within Australia, and maintain a "black-list" of overseas websites which is then provided for use in filtering software. The restrictions focus primarily on child pornography, sexual violence, and other illegal activities, compiled as a result of a consumer complaints process. In 2009, the OpenNet Initiative found no evidence of Internet filtering in Australia, but due to legal restrictions ONI does not test for filtering of child pornography.

No, the internet is globally important that is full of information that is valuable to the human being
@9HK9YD6 5mos5MO
The legs of humans increased wears of squad gears for inline police policy and by legend former US president Donald Trump and former UK prime minister Boris Johnson hoping use straight wings leaders
@9G5JY2T7mos7MO
Dependant on the nature of what is being searched for (e.g. child pornography, terrorist groups, sex trafficking etc.)
@9G4L49S7mos7MO
No they should not regulate the end user, but they should enact legislation to protect citizens data
@9FWVPBS7mos7MO
Again, a yes or no response is inadequate. I don't want the current digital wild west but neither do I want a China approach in which regulation is strict censorship which allows the population only what its government wants it to have. This requires considerable thought before finding the sweet point on the continuum between a wild west and state control of information.
@9FSH3S67mos7MO
Yes, in order to reduce misinformation and disinformation, to prevent child pornography and exploitation, to prevent cyberbullying , and to stop copyright infringement
