Sprint or anyone else who wants to look at the prohibited web page to make own judgement just let me know and I sent you the link via PM so FD doesn't have to pay $11K fine.

1. The 11k fine is only if you refuse to remove the the link I believe.

2. The reason that site was banned was because some one complained about it as a social experiment to show easily thing would be added to the blacklist.

3. A list of banned sites in Denmark (via wikileaks) is now also on the blacklist.

4. If the law gets passed the blacklist will be reversed engineered and put on wikileaks and other places.

I can post it here if it is ok by FD.

Wikileaks threatens Conroy with criminal prosecution

Quote:

Senator Conroy yesterday issued a statement in response to the release of the Australian Internet censorship list by Wikileaks, saying that his department, "is investigating this matter and is considering a range of possible actions it may take including referral to the Australian Federal Police. Any Australian involved in making this content publicly available would be at serious risk of criminal prosecution."

Describing Senator Conroy as the person "responsible for Australian Internet censorship", Jay Lim, the legal adviser of Wikileaks publisher Sunshine Press stated:

"Under the Swedish Constitution's Press Freedom Act, the right of a confidential press source to anonymity is protected, and criminal penalties apply to anyone acting to breach that right.

"Source documents are received in Sweden and published from Sweden so as to derive maximum benefit from this legal protection.

"Should the Senator or anyone else attempt to discover our source we will refer the matter to the Constitutional Police for prosecution, and if necessary, ask that the Senator and anyone else involved be extradited to face justice for breaching fundamental rights."

Gold. I'd give them free legal here if they wanted it. I should shoot them an email.

Conroy 'auctioned' on eBay

Quote:

A PRANK auction has been taken offline after someone tried to sell Communications Minister Stephen Conroy on eBay.

Bidding had passed $700 by the time it was taken offline, almost 24 hours after it was posted.

A cheeky eBay user, screen name "krudd53", said the asking price for the politician was "around $8000 or best offer... No reasonable offer refused."

The bids escalated from $30 to $765 within hours. Prospective buyers even submitted their own joking questions about the mock auction.

"I am interested in a new communications minister, but I am worried that the one you have for sale is not fit for this purpose. What is your return policy?," asked one bidder.

The answer: "Hello fellow Australian, Stephen is better suited to a communist country. K Rudd."

Pro-euthanasia group Exit International is holding national hacking crash-courses in how to bypass the Federal Government's planned ISP-level Internet content filter with help from the Australian Pirate Party....
About 100 people have signed on to the Perth hacking class to be held 7 April. Each workshop takes five-and-a-half hours and will also be held in Melbourne (12 April), Hobart (15 April), Adelaide (21 April), Brisbane (24 April), Canberra (30 April) and Sydney (7 May).

Filtering the internet is akin to sailing a sieve around the world, you will spend so much time plugging holes you will never get anywhere.
Basically it is a dumb idea which politicians are trying to implement to placate religious wowsers and politically correct twits who are afraid that people are not capable of deciding what they should and should not see.
Any grossly inappropriate stuff should just be handled like it is now, omn a case by case basis, where it can be reported and removed, if doing so is justified.

"Filtering" AKA thought controlling.

The internet only ever took off because of it's nature of being a medium for the exchange of free thought.

It might be an exciting revolation of freedom at first to watch some pig dog fisting porn, but the appeal is soon lost when you get past the necessity for personal freedom and settle on what is really of personal interest.

If there are peadophiles out there, then limiting content on the internet will not make them any less a peadophile. They have always had access to their terrible desires and they always will have.
Terrorists and all of the other slime will always be there regardless of whether we are permitted to see them or not.
I'd much rather be able to see the reality than to be "protected" from it.

The reality that our government wants to control our thinking in this way puts them in the same basket as all of the other fiends of the world. They should be treated as the criminals that they are.
