Troubling

HM New leftist Australian government seems to be emulating the Chinese maoists. They are planing a strict censorship of what can be seen on the internet.This seems to apply to everyone and you must then opt out of the scheme. Now I want children protected from kiddie porn, but this seems like massive overkill. The government is going to tell people what are suitable web sites. How Big Brother like.

The Australian government's aim is to ensure that children only have access to family-friendly websites.

Service providers will be expected to stop the flow of pornography and other X-rated or violent content.

The government is set to compile a list of unsuitable sites, although at this stage it is unclear what will be deemed unsuitable.

Australians wanting unfettered access to the web will have to contact their supplier to opt out of the new regime.

Critics of the proposals have insisted they have no place in a liberal democracy, and have accused Canberra of being oppressive.
