If the Government is making ISPs liable for Internet traffic than why not make telecommunications carriage service providers and Australia Post liable for telephone calls and ordinary mail?
Telephone and mail communications are generally one to one communications that are accessible to the sender and recipient. Therefore, equivalent online communications such as Internet telephony and ordinary email are not covered by the legislation. The legislation only covers Internet content that is kept on a data storage device and accessible to the public.
