Right now I'm trying to find that censorship list, it's on wikileaks but wikileaks.org is suspiciously down.

Any Non-Australian users, can you access this link? Or do you get that overloaded message too?

Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

So is 4chan's /b/, and various boards on other chans (LOL gee I wonder why, but still) and Encyclopedia Dramatica. This should be causing Ausfags to RAGE everywhere.

Although myfreepaysite isn't on the list, lulz, and that's a porn site. Also fleshbot (however the videos are hosted elsewhere, so... yeah) isn't on the list either.  :headbang2:

However I have a feeling that might change by the time the real thing is operational though.

Also FFS, didn't the government learn about the whole Underbelly (TV series) Victoria ban saga. You can't censor or ban anything from us; as once we know of it's existence and we're curious enough, we'll all go get it regardless. :laugh:

If it happens, we'll miss you Aussies here on I2.

Censorship is why people go into bars and pay outrageous cover charges, just to see tits.

Before this, I had always been under the impression that the US stood out among free countries as being all uptight and prude... kind of like we had never managed to get the Puritanism out of us.  Here, if you want to see boobs, you've got to go to a bar.  I hear that elsewhere, you only have to go to a beach.  (I don't go to nudie bars, mind you... I shouldn't have to pay to see.  :P  )

And I thought Australia was supposed to be all laid-back and fun-loving.  I'd still like to visit some day.  I just won't be stopping by any cyber-cafes.

If you look at the link I provided, there's an interesting paragraph that reveals deception happening in Thailand about their internet censorship policy:

Quote from: http://www.twine.com/item/123s4y512-29k/acma-secret-blacklist-aug-2008
In December last year we released the secret Internet censorship list for Thailand. Of the sites censored in 2008, 1,203 sites were classified as "lese majeste" -- criticizing the Royal family. Like Australia, the Thai censorship system was originally pushed to be a mechanism to prevent the child pornography.

With Thailand's example in mind, the whole stopping child pornography clause is just bullshit to get people to blindly support it into legislation. Once it's passed, the whole thing is then used to impose censorship on anything the government doesn't like.

Also this raises an interesting point:

Quote
Research shows that while such blacklists are dangerous to "above ground" activities such as political discourse, they have little effect on the production of child pornography, and by diverting resources and attention from traditional policing actions, may even be counter-productive.

So even if they use the filter as they claim (which I doubt), it's not going to really stop the pedophiles; it will just shift them further under the radar.

EDIT: In case that previous link goes down, the list is hosted here too: http://kensingtonvictoria.com/?p=1121

By the way, here's a link to the site protesting this internet censorship policy:

Here's a online petition too (I know they're not very effective, but it has over 27000 signatures so far):
