Help stop the draconian and ignorant federal government proposed internet censorship regime
We’ve not said anything as yet about the Australian Federal Government’s draconian and ignorant mandatory internet censorship regime, in part due to a combination of incredulity and anger. But, luckily someone is on the case. Action group Getup has an online petition that you should sign, and get anyone you know to sign.
There’s just so much wrong with this proposed scheme it’s hard to know where to start. In essence, in Getup’s words
The Federal Government is planning to force all Australian servers to filter internet traffic and block any material the Government deems ‘inappropriate’. Under the plan, the Government can add any ‘unwanted’ site to a secret blacklist.
Enough said – get petitioning.
