Hey wow, a blog thread.
Spluff:
Today, I discovered that the Federal Government intends to introduce mandatory censorship to the internet in Australia.
Fuck off, government. Just fuck off.

Seriously. Talk about infringements to civil rights, not to mention the level of mediocre software the government is probably willing to put up with. I predict we'll be left with a buggy filter full of holes that is highly abusable and will block websites of unrelated content.
Perhaps instead of making the censorship national, they should have it as a service that can be requested rather than allow it to be a blight on the rest of us. If underage kids want to get porn, they'll just end up stealing mags instead of looking at website. You know, how it used to be before the internet.
Goddamn.

And there is absolutely nothing you can do about it, huh?
I don't particularly like America, so don't take this as a jingoistic statement, but I am glad that I live in America most of the time. It just seems better than most alternatives. Way I hear it, in the UK you are getting cameras on just about every damn block, and now in Australia, they are censoring the internet?
Actually... that is just two alternatives, I suppose, but it seemed like most when I started writing this. If the draft ever got reinstated, I would probably pick one of the Scandinavian nations to run to if I couldn't get conscientious objector status.

Censorship blows.
What's their reasoning behind it though??
