The workshop gauged views from various stakeholders including government agencies like Police, Customs, National Identification Project, National Research Institute, National Information & Communications Technology Authority (NICTA) and the private sectors, to come up with a better way to formulate the policy.

Most of the participants spoke about the disadvantages of the internet and why internet filtration must be included in the policy to avoid children having access to illegal sites.

NICTA chief executive officer Charles Punaha says formulating an internet policy and internet filtering systems will address the issue of pornography, human trafficking, money laundering and other issues of crime related to the use of internet.

Punaha challenged participants at the combined stakeholders workshop on Internet Filtering System currently underway in Port Moresby.
