Green Party Opposes Internet Filtering

The Green Party has announced that they are opposed to the DIA’s plans to filter the internet.

Metiria Turei has given a comprehensive answer to the questions I asked, including:

…the Green Party sees the role of ISPs as common carriers and that ISPs should not be made responsible for content that passes through their networks or for material on web sites which they host.

Green Party Policy explicitly states that ISPs must, within the constraints of legal requirements, provide a censorship free service for users who do not want any form of censorship.

I suggest you read the response in full.

I am still waiting for statements from the other major parties.
