The government wants to censor the internet.

If this happens, then we live in a country where no politician values their life.
There will be blood.

I've known about this for a while.

What we have to do is start a massive shitstorm over it.

Here's some sites that I've been looking at about this whole thing:

It's not going to happen. Like one of the articles says, it's totalitarianism. The state shouldn't be in control, we are in a democracy.

Damn government! If this gets implemented, I will personally, without fear of death, demolish Parliament House via the use of my bare nose.

Actually, that might be hard..


I highly doubt it will go forth, and be accepted by the community, though.

Quote:
A few days ago I came across the news that the Australian government was implementing plans for a no opt-out censored Internet. This will be a multi-million dollar project and will be “mandatory for all Australians”, which means that “Australians will be unable to opt-out of the government's pending Internet content filtering scheme, and will instead be placed on a watered-down blacklist.”

If Australians allow this scheme to be implemented, then it means that they will be living under Totalitarianism, a political system where a “state regulates nearly every aspect of public and private life.” This is the same type of regime that the Soviet Union functioned as, maintaining itself “in political power by means of an official all-embracing ideology and propaganda disseminated through the state-controlled mass media, a single party that controls the state, personality cults, control over the economy, regulation and restriction of free discussion and criticism, the use of mass surveillance, and widespread use of terror tactics.”

I nearly started a thread on this today, with the sites SoulflyV mentioned. It's just stupid on so many levels.
