    Why the internet industry association stayed clear of online protest.

    ISP iiNet has blacked out its website for 24 hours to protest the Government's filtering plans, a sole voice of protest from within the ISP community.

    The Perth ISP switched off its participation in the internet blackout at midnight last night after going live at "close-of-business" Western Australian time on Monday.
