It is theoretically feasible to ‘reverse engineer’ the list. However, it is technically difficult and requires specialist knowledge. If a person did do this, the public release of child abuse material may leave that person liable to criminal prosecution. Provisions of the Criminal Code make it an offence to use a carriage service to ‘make available’ child pornography or child abuse material. The Government considers it appropriate that people attempting to access RC-rated content are notified via a block page that the requested content is blocked at the ISP level. This would enable users to seek a review of the decision to include the material on the RC Content list.
