The Australian government has said today that new technology could be used to filter all P2P traffic.
Broadband Minister Stephen Conroy added, “Technology that filters peer-to-peer and BitTorrent traffic does exist and it is anticipated that the effectiveness of this will be tested in the live pilot trial.”
The controversial censorship plan was originally believed to be for restricting certain Web traffic and internationally-hosted content that did not fall under Australian regulation.
On the Digital Economy Future Directions blog launched by Conroy earlier this month, the replies to the plan are very critical.
“I’m aware that this proposal has attracted significant debate and criticism – on this blog and at other places in the blogosphere,” Senator Conroy noted.
The filtering proposal as a whole has made headlines since its first appearance and there were even protests around Australia earlier this month.

According to the official YouTube blog, the site has expanded their high definition player, making it official after weeks of testing new HD capabilities.
Says the blog:
“Starting today, if you click the “watch in HD” option below any HD-enabled video, the video will automatically play in widescreen – so you can find out where the hell Matt is in glorious HD, if you so wish. As part of this launch, we have created an HD Videos area where you can browse videos uploaded in the HD format. In anticipation of your questions – including how to encode your videos to take advantage of this new feature and how to avoid the dreaded “windowboxing” – we have prepared an FAQ in the Help Center.”
