This topic goes far beyond its intitial content.

Who needs a book burning, if no one knows that the books that the government needs burned exist?. ;-)

Orwell.. No need for rewriting things that the people don't know about. (And the media and governments are already under control to keep people in the dark about what is going on by controlling the ideas/memes that spread/go viral among the masses..)

Please define illegal?
Because a lot of my research (ancient history) would fall under the terrorism act just like this site would.

There are already filters for protecting your children and for iffy people on your pc. Just turn them on.

This wave of censorship has been creeping over from China over the last few years. And all the thanks goes to one US company for writing and monitoring the software which will change the web and our lives as we know it forever. Microsoft....

A lot of web surfers only seem to be interested in simply things, like games, fashion, sport etc, and will not wander to far from their bubble. So a controlled web would go unnoticed and unchallenged by them. With their attitude, “if you’re not doing anything wrong”

But i for one am like dog shyte, i'm everywhere. The freedom of clicking on a random link and discovering something totally new can only be describe as wondrous. The information that I have accumulated over the years could knock a few so-called historians off their pedal stools.
Blasphemy also comes to mind. Life of Brian. “Stone the b_astard”.

But under this censorship, it will all be locked out under the terrorism act; other folk’s material and mine will become illegal. So the government & co's little seedy doctrines will be allowed to flourish. All history and facts will be rewritten within a couple of generations.
Welcome to the world of.

Australia planning to block 10,000 websites
By Bonnie Malkin in Sydney
Last Updated: 5:17AM GMT 14 Nov 2008

The websites will be blocked as part of a government-sponsored trial of its filter technology that will start before Christmas and last six weeks.

The government has already identified 1300 websites that it wants to black list as part of the clean feeds scheme.

Communications Minister Stephen Conroy said the sites mostly contained child pornography and other unwatned content, including images and videos.

"While the ACMA blacklist is currently around 1300 URLs, the pilot will test against this list - as well as filtering for a range of URLs to around 10,000 - so that the impacts on network performance of a larger blacklist can be examined," se said.

The government is calling for ISP providers to express interest in taking part in the trial. Just one ISP has volunteered so far.

A spokesman for Mr Conroy said: ''The pilot will provide an invaluable opportunity for ISPs to inform the Government’s approach.

''The live pilot will provide valuable real-world evidence of the potential impact on internet speeds and costs to industry and will help ensure we implement a filtering solution that is efficient, effective and easy for Australian families to use.''

A trial of web-filtering technology earler this year found it could slow internet access by as much as 87 per cent and by at least 2 per cent. Australia's internet service is already notoriously sluggish.

The proposed filter is highly unpopular with civil liberty groups and the internet service industry.

Colin Jacobs, board member of Electronic Frontiers Australia said he was concerned at what would be deemed "unwanted content".

"It is unclear how ACMA will scale up their blacklist to 10,000 websites and what will go on the list," he told the Melbourne Herald-Sun.

"Conroy said the list would contain illegal and unwanted content but we still have to see what would end up on that list.


"Under the current mandate that includes adult material, which would mean most material that could be rated R and, in some circumstances, material rated MA15+."

So, what are you going to do about it?

My place of employment has filtered rense.com as extreme politics/hate speech. How is this different from book burning? How long before I am strip searched for contraband? How long before we are living the reality of Farenheit 451?

Do you doubt that Avalon will be filtered?

Henry Deacon hinted that the internet had 500 days left. That would be early 2010 if his information is accurate.

Now is the time to explore alternatives such as Freenet, the modem based FIDONET and ham radio based digital content

Do not forget that Aleksandr Solzhenitzyn went to prison for comments made to a friend in a private letter disparaging the government.
