Re: [CTRL] I TOO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW...

2000-05-24 Thread Alan Howard

but he has a point...  If there's a limit on postings per person, and a
limit on total emails per day, then by one person having the freedom to
break the personal limit means that other people's posts are delayed.  That
can get pretty annoying.  Isn't CTRL about the exchange of information and
ideas, and for the campaigning of freedom and all that?  And yet there is
one person on this list who has more freedom and liberties than the rest.
How can that be justified?  What happened to equality for all?

 Oh, Jume:

 If Michael was only
 sending 8 to 12 posts, it wouldn't be so bad, but this 20+ a day
 has got to
 stop, or else grant the same privilege to all of us.

 Excuse me, but when did CTRL become YOUR list? I mean, it must be for you
 to make such arrogant pronouncements. Start your own list and
 quit whining.

[CTRL] Australian Net Censor Law Passes

1999-06-30 Thread Alan Howard
Title: 


Australian Net Censor Law Passesby Stewart Taggart 
8:15a.m.30.Jun.99.PDTCANBERRA, Australia -- The 
political leaders of this nation on Wednesday passed into law one of the world's 
most far-reaching online content censorship regimes. 
The rules -- which take effect 1 January, 2000 -- enable Australian 
government regulators to order domestic Internet service providers (ISPs) to 
take down indecent or offensive Web sites housed on their servers, and also 
require they block access to certain domestic or overseas-based content. 



See also: Australia's 
Brave New World 



"We're on fairly new ground here," said Stephen Nugent, special projects 
manager for the Australian Broadcasting 
Authority (ABA). "The codes of practice envisaged under this legislation are 
probably more detailed, and cover a greater range of matters, than I have seen 
in any other country." 
Known as the "Broadcasting Services 
Amendment (Online Services) Act", the measure was approved by the House of 
Representatives late Wednesday night, according to a staffer in the office 
ofCommunications Minister Richard Alston. The measure had passed the more 
contentious Australian Senate on 26 May. 
The new law will institute a movie-like rating system for Internet content. 
The ABA will order ISPs to take down content on their servers rated X (Sexually 
Explicit) or RC (Refused Classification) within 24 hours of being notified. 
For opponents of online content restrictions, the struggle will now shift to 
cyberspace itself. They believe the Internet simply will prove too large, too 
decentralized, and too fast-moving for regulators anywhere to successfully block 
access to any content for long. 
Among the defiant is Perth-based online entrepreneur Bernadette Taylor. Known 
to her Web site admirers as a "Virtual Girlfriend," she 
offers nude photos of herself and personalized email communication to paying 
members. 
To Taylor, passage of the law merely begins a hide-and-seek game she 
professes little doubt she'llwin. With a Web site housed in Dallas, Texas, 
she plans to stay one step ahead of the nation's blocking mechanisms for as long 
as the law lasts. 
"With a bit of effort the ABA could find (and block) me every day but they'd 
have to spend five to 10 minutes doing it," she says. "In the meantime, I'm 
compiling a mail list which has all the people that want notification of where I 
am." 
She believes her Australian-based users will encounter little ongoing 
difficulty accessing her site, either through using encryption software or 
through proxy servers that disguise the source of material. 
One such proxy server has been set up by South Australian Web site builder 
and e-commerce businessman Mike Russell. By visiting www.whois.com.au, Australian Web users will 
be able to access any site they want without disclosing where they're visiting. 
Since banning proxy servers isn't included in the legislation, Russell says 
there will be little Australian regulators can do. 
Among other defiant gestures, Russell is calling for a worldwide boycott by 
Web sites of visitors from "gov.au" domains -- recommending all such visitors be 
redirected by webmasters to the home page of Electronic Frontiers Australia, the online 
civil liberties group that spearheaded a failed effort to stop the law. 
In introducing the online content legislation, the center-right government of 
Prime Minister John Howard argued that some controls are needed to limit access 
by children to pornographic content on the Internet, as well as other material 
that could be deemed offensive. 
Passage of the law comes amid research showing Internet use is rising rapidly 
in Australia. Figures released Wednesday by the Australian Bureau of Statistics 
showed nearly 18 percent of Australia's households now have some form of 
Internet access -- a rise of nearly 50 percent in one year. Nearly 40 percent of 
Internet households in Australia now access the Internet on a daily basis, the 
researchers found. 
To Grant Bayley, a Sydney spokesman for 2600 Australia, an organization of technology 
enthusiasts, the fact that the law comes into force on 1 January, 2000 provides 
at least one indication that Australian lawmakers may not have been fully 
cognizant on all the issues involved. 
"January 1 is not going to be one of the best days in the world to implement 
this," he said, referring to the long-feared Year 2000 problem in which 
worldwide computers may start acting up due to the millennial date change. 
"There are going to be much bigger problems around," he said.

what a great idea!  You have my vote for an articles-only list - I currently delete a

reading.

 Hiya Kris,

 My vote would be for 2 lists: one for discussion and the second
 one to post
