Internet regulations: From the US to Australia

Australia

Oct 2008, the Australian government invested about $125 million to develop internet filters to block websites hosting illegal information, in the name of suppressing child pornography.

In June 2006, the Australian government announced an AU$116.6 million ($85 million) initiative, "Protecting Australian Families Online." The initiative included AU$93.3 million ($68 million) to be spent over three years to provide all families with free web filters.
