Internet censorship in Australia?
SlashDot has an interesting piece about possible internet censorship in Australia:
“Left wing Australian Christian political party Family First wants an annual levy of $7 to $10 on all internet users in Australia to fund a $45 million mandatory national internet filtering scheme aimed at blocking pornographic and offensive content at server level.”
I’m not surprised that someone would suggest it, but it seems like a bad idea all around to me.
