Wassup Oz?!

Australia will join China in implementing mandatory censoring of the internet under plans put forward by the Federal Government.  The government has declared it will not let internet users opt out of the proposed national internet filter.  The plan was first created as a way to combat child pronography and adult content, but could be extended to include controversial websites on euthanasia or anorexia.

This has nothing to do with child pornography.  There are numerous ways that child pornography can be shared and traded that this measure will not effect.

This has everything to do with control.

I predict governments around the globe will become more and more aggressive in trying to push through such laws in the coming years.  Get ready to fight.
