Bullet-proof plans for Internet censorship

Paedophiles be gone!

At least your government does not call the Internet "a bunch of tubes".

No but our government does think that Hilary Clinton's speech on Internet Freedom is proof that we need mandatory Internet censorship because of one line in the whole speech.

Once I've moved and got my broadband service set up once more I'm signing up for a VPN service anyway. These assholes can go to hell. Labor most certainly won't get my vote next election! Between this and the asylum seekers, bloody hell.

Got a link to that? I seemed to have missed it.

Rudd Government welcomes Secretary Clinton's comments on the internet | Senator Stephen Conroy | Minister for Broadband Failures, Communications Debacles and the Digital Recession

What a freakin' moron.

[wuzy]

Meh, who cares about the web which can be solved easily with VPN like you guys said and they're relatively low bandwidth stuff.
If Usenet (there's always premium SSL if needed), P2P, and IRC aren't DPI'd then the more bandwidth there is for file sharers!

If there's one thing I've learnt about WAN; there's always a workaround.

What a freakin' moron.

Is that moron or morons?
Are you refering to Conroy, Clinton, or both.

My vote is both...

A speech that was originally directed at China...

Conroy. Well morons could be referring to Michael Atkinson too. Hillary Clinton has nothing on these nubs.

That doesn't justify setting a precedent for allowing censorship which will only get tougher.

Unfortunately our Constitution does not grant us rights to free speech (or rights to pretty much anything), so the government is free to do what they want. All the while the mainstream public continue to concern themselves about Tiger Wood's next move and whether or not Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will break up or not.

I call it natural selection! Or make lemonade out of lemon.
Only the smarter computer literate people get the benefit. [/selfish arsehole]

Conroy meets with Google for YouTube filtering - Software - Technology - News - iTnews.com.au

Conroy wants Google to filter YouTube because he knows his filter can't do it

[Suavey]

As much as I despise Child Porn. I don't want any kind of internet censorship implemented ever. The internet should be completely uncensored forever, if something offends you... don't look at it.

Hell censoring the internet won't stop criminals (child pornographers). Laws don't hurt criminals, they just make them smarter.

W00t! Fleetwood Mac ftw!

Wait. Wrong thread.

My bad :P
