Hi Paperboy and thanks for your comment.

I didn’t know about it either until I came back from the Middle East and looked into it. I was quite surprised to see that Finland would try and do this.

There are a few differences with australia that I didn’t mention though: apparently, the filter is not mandatory in Finland and your Internet is must faster…

I am finnish but I live in Sweden so I hadn’t heard about this filtering tests i Finland until I read your(?) comment on Rusty Lime.

So… thanks for this article, I’ll have to dig deeper into this!
And–oh yeah, the various countries’ attempts to “filter the internet” are indeed futile.
