There's a "high threshold" and "parliamentary oversight" before blocking takes place, Inman said. Officials maintain that this won't lead to arbitrary censorship. Reviews for the blocks will take place every six months. The commissioner's office will also be responsible for keeping watch over the sites and will unblock them if they pull the video.
The move comes after Prime Minister Scott Morrison (above) told both Inman and ISPs to create a protocol for ordering these blocks. The government's e-safety commissioner Julie Inman has ordered internet service providers in the country to block eight websites hosting the Christchurch terrorist's video, preventing Australians from visiting the sites unless they use alternatives like VPNs.
Australia isn't waiting for new laws to block access to sites with content it deems horrific.
