[wellylug] Internet filter goes live

[Kingsley G. Morse Jr.]

"The Department of Internal Affairs' (DIA)
internet filter is now operational and is being
used by internet providers (ISPs) Maxnet and
Watchdog"

[...]

"Telstra Clear, Telecom and Vodafone have said
they will implement the filter, with Orcon,
Slingshot and Natcom saying that they won't."

[...]

Thomas Beagle, spokesperson for online freedom
lobby Tech Liberty says he's "very disappointed
that the filter is now running, it's a sad day for
the New Zealand internet".
