iiNet said AFP now made s313 compliance a requirement.

Recommended Posts

Internet Industry Association (IIA) had released a filter code on child abuse for the industry. IIA have stated that no new legilsation amendments were required because ISPs were installing filters to block access to faclitiate carrying out legal

requests under s313 of the Telecommunications Act.[120][121] However no known code has been publicly released yet.

Internode, TPG and Exetel have been against the scheme, unless the law compels them. iiNet is one notable exception in that they will work with the law, but haven't got a position on the scheme. Vodafone is supporting the IIA filter code, however it's not clear whether they will implement it.[122]

iinet Representative:

what has happened, between the AFP telling you it was voluntary?

Then : AFP explicitly state compliance with section 313 of the Act (for the specific purpose of the 'worst of the worst' blocks) was optional/voluntary/up to the ISP.

Now : AFP explicitly state compliance with section 313 of the Act (for the specific purposes of the 'worst of the worst' blocks) is required.

It's not complicated. The Act hasn't changed, the section 313 notice has. Previously, it seems, some ISPs were prepared to act on the 'voluntary' s313.

We declined.

Now that it is no longer voluntary, we are complying.
