    Aussies and ISP filtering

    http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117...-29277,00.html

    I posted the URL to this article on IRC but since most of you don't idle there i thought this would be better.

    Seriously without violence and porno whats the point of having the internet? Australia is going to be like China's internet now.

    "Mr Beazley said all households would be included in the policy unless there was a specific request for access to such material."

    At least they have that, but it would suck being a kid with no wanking access. "Hey dad, can you ask for more access to the ISP, the pressure is building up."

    God damn that sucks. My whole (well, not whole, but a good chunk) childhood would have been a lot less interesting without access to any porn or violence on the web. I would've spent more time watching and videotaping hbo and other shit while it was free for a week. Not that I didn't do that anyway.

    Edit: Anyone live in Australia here? I wonder if they'll keep a list of who requests access to the blocked material. I can see it now, printed lists of the so-called 'perverts' floating around. Do you really want this guy teaching your children?
    Ha!

    Sucks to be an aussie then. Man, thats just harsh.

    I haven't read the whole article yet, but if they're restricting access to certain material, wouldn't that violate some sort of freedom of infomation act/rite
