Comments on: Internet content filtering: outdated remedies applied to modern issues http://klepas.org/2008/08/01/internet-content-filtering-outdated-remedies-applied-to-modern-issues/ Proudly bending beziers since 2006 Tue, 06 Jan 2009 06:55:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Luke Matthew Sutton http://klepas.org/2008/08/01/internet-content-filtering-outdated-remedies-applied-to-modern-issues/comment-page-1/#comment-41971 Luke Matthew Sutton Sat, 09 Aug 2008 00:00:13 +0000 http://klepas.org/?p=497#comment-41971 I’m absolutely disgusted by this. As you say, the government has no right in dictating what adults choose to see or do on the internet. It’s not an argument about illegal material – we have laws for that already — it’s about censorship, which is never justified. I took the same tack as you and sent a letter to the minister a few months ago. I’m hoping that other folk are doing the same. Needless to say, if it does go ahead, their will be lots of very surprised and angry people. I’m absolutely dis­gusted by this.

Did someone get bribes from the video rental industry? ;) Does this mean they want to lock all Aus­tralians out of all online adult enter­tain­ment, and who knows what else might be con­sid­ered inap­pro­pri­ate (say, the website of an oppo­si­tion party?).
