∞ Microsoft, Google and Yahoo! speak out in ISP filter consultation
Microsoft, Google and Yahoo! have taken different tacks during public consultation over the Federal Government’s Internet filtering.
For Yahoo! blocking websites dealing with controversial topics, such as euthanasia and abortion, was a major flaw. “Clearly some of [the] content is controversial and, depending on one’s political beliefs, rather offensive,” the company said in its submission. “However, we maintain there is enormous value in this content being available to encourage debate and inform opinion.”
