smh.com.au Wrote:MINISTER for Communications Stephen Conroy has vowed to push on with his controversial internet filtering scheme, despite a barrage of criticism.

Senator Conroy told The Sun-Herald that internet advocacy groups such as GetUp! were ''deliberately misleading'' the Australian public about the scheme, which will refuse classification to illegal and socially unacceptable web pages. The legislation, which was expected to be passed before Parliament rises in June, has been delayed until the second half of the year while the government fine-tunes it.

The government's $128.8 million Cyber Safety policy includes forcing internet service providers to block access to a secret blacklist of website pages identified as ''refused classification'' by the Australian police.

Web pages will be nominated for blacklisting by Australian internet users who come across illegal or ''unacceptable'' websites.

Mind if I move on over to your shithole of a country? Suddenly it seems a lot better.

Quote:''This is a policy that will be going ahead,'' Senator Conroy said. ''We are still consulting on the final details of the scheme. But this policy has been approved by 85 per cent of Australian internet service providers, who have said they would welcome the filter, including Telstra, Optus, iPrimus and iinet.''

Approved the filter my left testicle.

I probably should stop postwhoring, but eh. I've got nothing better to do.

We'd better enjoy the time we have left...

AWOL · 05-30-2010 03:27 AM

Yeah. You guys'll be next. Expect mandatory seatbelts as well.

To late, we have commercials about that shit ALL THE TIME. They pull you over and give you a ticket if you don't wear a seatbelt.

Oh, seriously? Helmet laws are worse though. $200 for endangering myself and no one else? Fuck off.

Twenty-seven states have a motorcycle helmet law that only require some riders to wear a helmet. Three states (Illinois, Iowa, and New Hampshire) do not have a motorcycle helmet law.

Nanny state.

Remember. Suicide is illegal.

AWOL · 05-30-2010 03:43 AM

Oh, yeah. Add that to the list of laws that should be abolished due to sheer stupidity.

Get yourself a VPN and you won't have to worry at all about the filter. That's how people in Pakistan are getting around their bans on various sites right now.

HeartofShadows · 05-30-2010 03:44 AM

So it goes on unhindered.

Don't worry we'll be next if its as easy as when you guys took it up the ass from them.

I knew when I red this when I got on I knew psychopath would be raging and boy was I right.

AWOL · 05-30-2010 03:45 AM

VPNs won't do jack shit. You need to tunnel to get out of it.

Anyone under 12 must wear a helmet for bicycling. I'm not sure of the fine for it, but I don't think we have one for skateboarding.

AWOL · 05-30-2010 03:46 AM

Everyone ever here has to wear a helmet when riding a bicycle. Or skateboard. Or scooter. We're legally required to wear elbowpads and kneepads too.

I think he meant for the people that bike on actual roads with all the other traffic.

AWOL · 05-30-2010 03:47 AM

No. Just riding it. Anywhere.

mudkip liek · 05-30-2010 03:48 AM
