No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?

“Once the public has allowed the system to be established, it is much easier to block other material,” Clapperton said.

According to preliminary trials, the best Internet content filters would incorrectly block about 10,000 Web pages from one million.


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, experts say.

Under the government's $125.8 million Plan for Cyber-Safety, users can switch between two blacklists which block content inappropriate for children, and a separate list which blocks illegal material.

Thanks for the link.

Cyber-Censorship. Insane.

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

Thankyou for the link, more controls placed on the citizens of this country, i am capable of of deciding for myself the content on reading and watching what i want. This government is now just going too far, "trying to protect us for our own good and from ourselves" - there will be many votes lost by this government in the next elections if we make it to them - that is for both state and federal.
My computer has no other access other than myself, and it is up to me what i wish to find on the internet............

The television stations air more inappropriate content, look at all the adverts they allow for sexually explicit material via SMS, porn on your mobile, explicit ads for Viagra which i became sick of watching ad after ad and no real content, so i don't watch TV anymore as the good content that used to be there is gone - so much for control in that area

:wall: :smoke: :cup:

they can only go so far before they fall of the ledge.

and the edge is approaching quickly.

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

Hi - I'll prob be the only one here .. who will say

I THINK THIS IS A GREAT IDEA

- why do i say this ?

Cuz ur average Joe -- doesnt know much about online security --

Added a filter will help them out !

Its like .. adding another lock to your door!


----
Now .. for all who dont like more security --

Do you leave ur house door unlocked?

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

nono magii, that is not what is like.

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

Hey - off this one article .. I dont have all the specifics .. so I dunno what to tell ya ..


~~~
But on a really serious note .. There is MASSIVE amounts of Clueless internet users ---

So many of their computers get turned into drones .. or bots .. and they dont have a clue!

why not protect these people?

(this maybe have nothing to do with the above article .. i duno ? im just saying )

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

it is not about preticting them
it is about censoring what information ppl can gether from the web.

censorship..
it is not a good thing.

Just like them, invading Iraq was for our own protection right?

Bless

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

Protect these people This has to be the most uninteligent statement ive ever heard on this site so far, your very being here should signify that you have some awareness of what "protection" and "safety" is doing to the people.

If YOU want better internet security, you get it for yourself

Before you know it, you wont be able to pee crooked without the cops coming down on you.

You wont be able to empower yourself with information on the internet, just be aware that a hell of a lot more things will be made "illegal" after this is implemented.

Your supporting the very system we want dismantled, shame on you.

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

2infinity,
perhaps magii didnt understand the meaning of this. .. and misinterpreted it,

thats how it seems to me anyway, honest mistake i feel.

relax a bit dude. its not like he was rude and trying to make ppl feel like poo.

no shame on anyone, no one deserves shame in this post.

some other posts, that is another question... lol

Breathe mang.

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

Maybe my reaction was over the top, but it just annoys me to see people willingly accepting the shackles that are slowly being fastened around their ankles.

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

i understand.

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

Shackles?

If protecting people is 'Willingly Accepting Shackles' then I would suggest you recheck your logic ... :sweatdrop:

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

Typical, Australians need protection from the government make no mistake this country is already on the NWO path and it has to be turned around real quick, people are waking up not as fast as some would like though.

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

if you think censorship is protection you should check your logic to mate.

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

I think you read me wrong matey, I wrote Aussies need protection from the government they are fascist grubs, censorship is certainly not protection it is a form of CONTROL, Australians are sick of this play of words when they say

"we are doing it for your (the public) protection" = we are doing it to control you.
"we need stronger laws for public safety" = we want more control of you.
"we are putting cameras on highways to stop driver fatigue" = we are putting in cameras on the highways to see where you are.
"we need more police for public safety" = we need more control.
"we need more speed cameras for driver safety" = we want more money.
"we need tougher laws to combat terrorism and to protect people" = we want tougher laws to control YOU...
"we need tougher gun laws for public safety" = when you finally wake up to us, we got all the guns, you got sticks and stones suckers.
It goes on and on and on.

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

Interesting that a similarly timed statement from the Home Secretary in the Uk states that the internet sites that we visit will be recorded and monitored - as well as text messages etc - all in the interests of "homeland" security!

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

It isn't about filters or virus protection on your computer for online security Magii,

It is all about the government trying to control what you can access and what you cannot, it is simple as that.

It has nothing to do with protecting the people from spam, trojans, viruses or online threats.
It is about having our freedoms taken away, yet again.

.

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

Protecting people? I dont need anyones protection.

With the proper education people can protect themselves.

So are you telling me you support protective oppression over individual responsibility and Sovereignty? C'mon now, when you talk in future speak for yourself buddy. If you need a layer or two of bubble wrap around you then so be it. YOU wrap yourself up, but please do not assume that anyone else feels the same way. I for one do not appreciate anyone speaking for me or assuming that i need any protection. I'm inteligent enough to protect my computer myself, or are you assuming that every person on this planet is a total moron?

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

I'm pretty sure his post was directed at 'Magii'

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

That will mean the likes of project avalon & co will be locked out under the terrorism act. Censorship has already begun, or hasn't anyone noticed how the web (not the net) has been playing up?
Server change over perhaps? :lightsabre:

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

I actually meant that for magii, my apologies for that. i fixed it.

i agree with you. 100%

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

It depends on the censorship --

If its crazy/xterme stuff - yah 100% should be censored

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

When you stop thinking about yourself - maybe you can see my point of view ---

Using your logic --

NO need for Policemen - just get everyone educated on using Guns / Protecting themselvs..

No Need for a Fireman - Heck .. if u have a fire .. use water and pray

No need for any sort of service from anyone else -- Lets go back into the stone age , Hunt & farm ...


~~~~
I'm not assuming anything for EVERYONE --
Im 100% sure .. majority common folk have NO IDEA on Internet Security, Firewalls, etc ...

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

hi magii, i think you misinterpreted what he meant,

i think He's talking about what the PTB tell you,
and then what they really mean by it,

surely if they told you the true intentions of their actions,
it wouldnt be so easy or accepted.

therefore they have to tell you, for example, that they are going to start patrolling your streets for your protection from criminals/"terrorists"... armed to the T, when really, we all know thats not the real reason for it. Its to protect their ability to control.

chill out homie... we're all on the same side..... arent we? lol

Bless

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

A properly educated mass of people wouldnt feel the need to use guns. Its called self soveirgnty.

And besides this analogy is so loose it doesnt even have any merit in this conversation.

Again completely irrelivent. Its obvious you lack any solid grounds for an argument.

Yes actually, we would be much better off. Take a look at the world around you, dont be so foolish as to assume that the government is doing anything for your protection, i assume, mate that any precautions they are putting in place where it concerns your protection is entirely for their own benifit.

Did you really come down in the last shower?


Ohh yes, so why not completely throw them behind virtual bars, grow up your solutions to problems are overly orweilian. Why not TEACH them how to use Internet security.. wouldnt that seem a tad more logical??


Im afraid by saying this you are assuming something for everyone. Im completely stumped at the fact that people on this earth hold opinions on such matters which they obviously know so little about (either that or they are comfortable with the notion of being chained like dogs with very limited freedom). No, really. This isnt harsh, your a human being, an adult. Its your duty to know right from wrong, if you were a politician my fate would be in your ill-informed uneducated hands.

Please educate yourself because right now its people like you that have humanity in this horrible mess.

You obviously have no clue about whats been going on in the past 100 years. We as a race have been systematically forced down to our knees to accept the heirachial suppression that our 'masters' so very much want.

And until you educate yourself you truly dont deserve an opinion.

Oh so now I'm in a class of Humanity that is making a big mess ...

Systematically forced down to our knees ?

I'm a good observer - I dont see anyone on there knees.. unless they want to be on their knees ..

And until you educate yourself you truly dont deserve an opinion.

You sound very angry + upset ... If it means anything to you .. Have a free hug!

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

Let me get this straight...Magii, you do not believe in freedom of speech? :sleep_1:

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

So we are going from a computer security issue ..

to Freedom of Speech?>

Whats next ? Deal or NO Deal?

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

It is not about user computers being "protected". It is about filtering what information you get to look at from the internet...i.e.-fringe forums that discuss people's concerns about the rogue behavior of their governments, UFO's, Etc. Know any? You are living under a rock.

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

Sorry .. please go and read the article

Here is a snip

"Under the government's $125.8 million Plan for Cyber-Safety, users can switch between two blacklists which block content inappropriate for children, and a separate list which blocks illegal material. "

The Filter is for 2 different options ..

One blocks content thats not appropirate for kids
and the other blocks illegal material

~~

The other stuff your stating is speculation ...

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

Hi, I didn't read the last couple posts, but this sounds very similar to what they already pushed through in Finland. In Finland they pushed it trough by using child pornography as a skapegoat.

I'll post a link to this one guys website who started openly run against this "childporn-blocker". And was later cencored himself by Finnish police.

Here is more:
www.lapsiporno.info

And personally I'm totally against anything like this. Trojans, viruses, malware comes from everywhere else than these so called "illegal" sites. You don't even have to be on internet to get a virus from the world wide network. What they are saying is that they could ban any site that would have something someone would classify as illegal. Example Project Avalon could be put on the list because someone has posted a link to somewhere that "elite" consideres illegal and therefore PC would be banned because it is containing links to an illegal material. This is what they are doing in Finland now, even tho it is illegal.

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

You contradict yourself Magii. You say it's about net security then quote that it is about filtering content, ie deciding for everyone else what is appropriate for them to view.

Who decides what gets filtered? TPB. Who decides what is illegal? TPB. So all it takes is one law that bans dissent against the government and their policies and nobody can access any information on it anymore. Places like Avalon would become inaccessible.

You use tactics I've seen before. You don't answer the points raised by others directly because you can't, you twist their words to attempt to make it look like they are saying something else, you ridicule their arguments with blatantly false logic (ie your Freedom of Speech and Deal or No Deal comment, or your argument that the need for trained firefighters is linked to freedom of speech) and generally try to derail the thread in any way possible.

If you have any VALID points to make please do so.

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

This is a VERY important issue to my mind.

Internet "filtering" DOES equal the decline of freedom of speech Magi!!!

We all know that history is written by the victors and censorship has been rampant in the world since recorded times. The internet - while having a lot of apparent "useless information" - it has also for the first time in history allowed the world wide almost "instant" exchange of ideas and events - unhindered by the censorship of the current PTB.

Where the TRUTH is lies in our own personal interpretation.

However anyone that SUPRESSES any individual expressing their thoughts is directly violating the freedom of speech of that individual.

Try living in China and googling Tianemen Square!!! Their internet is filtered to the point that all that comes up is a history of the place and NOTHING about the student massacre of 1989!!!

THAT is what internet filtering leads to!!


Just a small example of one search engines response to all this....

"......The popular search engine Google was temporarily blocked by the government of China in September 2002. Chinese Internet users were unable to access the search engine. In addition, requests for Google from within China were redirected to Chinese search engines. (1) At the time, Google issued a statement indicating that they were working with the Chinese authorities to restore access to Google. (2) (3) China lifted the block on the Google search engine soon thereafter. (4)

In a recent interview, the co-founder of Google, Sergey Brin, stated that Google did not negotiate with the Chinese government to have Google unblocked. (5) Brin suggests that 'popular demand' forced the government to enable access to Google. Google is currently accessible to Internet users in China.

However, our tests show that while Google is accessible to Chinese users, not all of its functions are available; because of China's content filtering technologies, users of Google within China experience a much different Google than those outside. As our tests below indicate, China blocks access to the Google cache and to searches that contain certain keywords. (6) Neither China's keyword filtering nor the mechanism used to filter the Google cache is specific to Google. China's usual Internet controls apply when users search for specific keywords in Google: their connection to Google is terminated and they receive no results from their search. Thus, while China's filtering affects Google searches, the system is entirely independent of Google. ....."

Ultimately its up to you what you choose to look at on the internet - same as its up to you to choose what you allow yourself or your children to view on TV - or at the library or anywhere else in life.
I for one trust my own discretion in this matter and i DO NOT want some authoritarian power telling me what i can and cannot look at or read!!

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

Through your complete lack of understanding of the true situation yes, you are part of the mass of people who continue to let big brother "protect" them and keep them "safe" , although we are all aware of what this protection does in the long run.

Let me divert your attention to the Patriot act which was passed after the 9/11 Tradgedies. This bill was inforced with the intention of 'protecting' the people when in fact all it does is give the government the same powers that Nazi Germany managed to sneak through congress which eventually led to the manipulation and extermination of many millions of people.

And it was passed due to the ignorance of people like you, its your repsonsibility to know this.
The blood of the innocent is on the hands of the ignorant.

When history repeats itself, do you even notice?

You dont see anyone on their knees? You dont see the people undergoing constant restrictions, day by day having their rights and freedoms slowly yet sneakily taken away from them.

I have one question for you, do you have eyes?


And you dont see country after country in the middle east falling to their knees? You dont see thousands of innocent people being slaughtered on their own lands by a highly technologically evolved military untit. You dont see children being blown to bits with bombs.

Ok, let me open your eyes for you ;

I would ask that the moderators dont delete these following pictures, they media are afraid to show them but we must recognise that this is what is going on in the world. This is the fruits of our labour ;

http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:...rMemorial2.jpg http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:.../iraq-war1.jpg http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:...ll/pict125.jpg http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:...casualties.jpg http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:...100306iraq.jpg http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:..._sanctions.jpg http://tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:...pg/bushwar.jpg


Can you see yet?

I am very angry and upset. And its not a hug i need, i need my fellow people to wake up and realise what is going around them. I need them to take back their power and start being responsible for themselves and their families.

But, this is nothing new. This is the fall and rise of civilisations, our history has repeated itself more times then i care to count. And until each person assumes personal soverignty then it will continue to repeat itself many more times.

I picked the wrong TV Game show .. Deal or no deal wasnt right ..


Its more like 1 vs 100 :mfr_lol:


~~~~~~~

If you guys wanna speculate what on the "filter" is gonna have / not have ...so be it ..

There is a big difference from annoucing your gonna setup a filter .. then just doing it ( ie China) ...its Transparent! People know whats happening - if they want it so be it .. if they dont theres time to get rid of it ...

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

Great pictures .. Now to prove a point .. why didnt you show all the BeHeading Pictures that terrorist did ?

Show all the Headless pictures... how about all the people who were chemical attacked ?


~~~
Let me guess .. in the spirit of whatever civilization you are apart of .. that will be Deamed .. Distastefull ... or not something you want to post / show .. etc

Which goes back to the point ... FILTERING OUT inapproiate things for CHILDREN or Illegal Content ..

Even this Forum is Censored .. are you going to complain about that too?

THE TPB of this FORUM GEt to DELETE / REMOVED anything they want ...

DO you guys like spammed forums? Do you guys like porn links ?

I can do this all day .. :smoke:

Re: No opt-out of filtered Internet,Australia then where else?
 

Thank you for proving every point I made.

After being taken hostage on September 16, 2004, Armstrong was beheaded on 20 September 2004 by the Tawhid and Jihad militant group. Abu Musab al-Zarqawi admitted that he personally beheaded Armstrong. The following day, the group beheaded fellow American Jack Hensley, and threatened to kill their third hostage, Briton Kenneth Bigley, unless the United States met their demands to free all women prisoners in Iraqi jails. Bigley was later beheaded in October 2004.

People are capable of terrible things when they are forced to endure traumatic experiences.

But yes, you choose to just see this beheading as a "terrorist act" you however fail to recognise that these people were being invaded by a foreign country and in the process had to watch as cluster bombs tore apart their children and their innocent woman were condemed to rot in jail.

You also fail to consider the reports of many soldiers who have testified that when approaching a village they were briefed by their commanders to shoot "everyone in the village, including woman and children" if one person opened fire.

Personally, if i had to watch this happen my family and my the people in my country id be pretty ****** off too!.


Not at all, im quite capable of debating matters such as this. Unlike you i dont close my eyes to the facts.


Ohh dont we need a scapegoat for everything. In that logic lets ban people from using cars because just in this country alone over 300 people die on our roads every year.


Porn links? Im old enough to choose not to click a link that i find distastefull. (I'm also old enough to watch porn if i want to, i dont need other people to decide whats appropriate for me thank you very much)
And also, if you dont want children to view these things it can be easily remedied by any parent. There are such things as content control.

But no, lets go Orwelian on everyones a$$!

You can do what all day, prove that you completely lack any debating skills? Well, its rather funny so please, continue.
