The Federal Government has said it will introduce a new law requiring Internet service providers to filter all Internet connections – including yours – early this year. The stated goal of the filter is to protect children, however the filter will only serve to give parents a false sense of security. It will not block the vast majority of sites unsuitable for children, nor mitigate the other, more serious risks facing children online such as cyber-bullying.The list of sites to be blocked will be secret, and not open to public review. It comes with no guarantees about how it might be expanded later by this or future… governments. Concerned? There’s still time to make your voice heard.

Internet censorship in Australia
Senator Stephen Conroy plans on censoring all internet in Australia, in the interests of child protection. Some points that were made after I recorded this video… Sen Conroy refers often to other countries that already have ISP censorship in place. Where the proposed Australian censorship differs is that no other countries have mandatory censorship, and the govt doesn’t control what is and isn’t censored.
