Thanks Marty. Not only them, but also http://www.getup.org.au/campaign/SaveTheNet But I'm afraid it might be already too late.
It's not only humiliating, I think Australians will only feel more isolated. It doesn't matter what they intend to filter but introducing such an instrument to control what people can access is quite evil. This censorship tool shouldn't exist in our society because of fears of improper use. (And I believe it will be used improperly either deliberately or unintentionally) It's not government's responsibility to "protect" children and adults shouldn't be "protected" without their consent. It's such a shame that we're going to join countries who doesn't even pretend to have independent media and freedom of speech... :( 2009/12/16 Marty Richards <ma...@netwaynetworks.com.au> > Hi Dmitry, > > I agree, this should be actively opposed and it will be - Electronic > Frontiers Australia are already on the case - http://nocleanfeed.com > > Cheers, > Marty > > > Dmitry Smirnov wrote: > >> Guys this is bloody serious -- let's do something about it. >> Petitions, complaints, protests -- anything! >> Whom we can write about it?
