Anti Porn Filters
WE have been working hard to provide protection on the University wide network from pornography and pornographic images and spam. We are proud to announce that this morning we have instigated a new software solution which uses advanced algorithms to identify the percentage of flesh tones in any image. We have thoroughly tested this solution and we are confident it will provide the protection required. It will also prevent staff and students from accidentally accessing pornographic websites.

We have agreed to exempt the social sciences division from the Anti Porn Filter as they are currently conducting research on the effect of pornography in society.

The Law faculty has been exempt from the Anti Porn Filter as they are apparently conducting research for the government and police on pedophile online behaviour.

We have lifted the Anti Porn Filter from the Department of Agriculture as the filter was preventing images and websites of pigs being accessed.

The department of Art has also been exempted from the Anti Porn Filter as it was preventing them accessing art installations and photographs.

Graphic design has also had the Anti Porn Filter removed from it's area of the network because of it's work on avatar design.

As the internal discussion pages are predominantly pink we have had to lift the Anti Porn Filter from these pages as it was causing problems for users.

Lol... Nice. That is the biggest problem with filters, cutting off the research. Funny thing is that I still use filters, like Net Nanny, but I'm also a private home. You would think that by now they would have found something that filters a bit better than that. At least we don't Australia's ridiculous filtering problem...
