Are ISPs and ICHs required to censor material?
ISPs and ICHs are not required to actively review, monitor or engage in universal blocking of content. As a complaints based scheme the only material that will be blocked as a result of the legislation will be material that has been the subject of a complaint and been found by the ABA to fall within a prohibited category. This approach recognises that service providers and content hosts are often not in a position to be aware of all material accessed through their service, and cannot reasonably be held responsible for material unless it is brought to their attention.
