Comments on: Government sites brought down by anti-internet filtering activists http://mumbrella.com.au/government-sites-brought-down-by-anti-internet-filtering-activists-17907 Everything under Australia’s media and marketing umbrella Sun, 12 Feb 2012 04:28:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Knotte Noan http://mumbrella.com.au/government-sites-brought-down-by-anti-internet-filtering-activists-17907#comment-30726 Knotte Noan Mon, 15 Feb 2010 01:37:27 +0000 http://mumbrella.com.au/?p=17907#comment-30726 @OP is a fag : Or you could use a browser with an inbuilt spell check. Hehe. Seriously though, I have talked to quite a few who seem to think that the filter is designed to only block porn sites and haven't yet realised the difference between porn and "materials deemed inappropriate" as the filter bias has been described by some sources. Not to mention the fact that the idea of a non-viewable blacklist with no allowance for questions is probably the absolute worst way to do said blocking. I'm just thankful that I will be able to use USA/UK proxy services and tunnelling to get around the asinine crap (Yay for easily ignorable filters). I just find it hilarious that torrent services and....other places that I wish to not name...are being completely unrestricted and they just happen to be the main location of illegal content. If seems the government just wants to stop the casual internet user from viewing inapropriate material....as well as advertising for games and video that are unrated in this country. Incidentally, JesusHernadez may have just gotten this site on the blacklist for posting a link to a black listed site. @OP is a fag :

They have mods who patrol it and ban those who do, and usually make examples of them, i.e. Post was "Requesting CP" MOD - This user was banned for this post So just requesting it, not posting can get you banned. However this isnt about just a 4chan ban. People dont realise what this actually means for their internet use. It will effect everyone in Australia negatively. This is possibly the most influencial topic/decision for Australia in the 21st century and no one knows about it or cares. Im going to openly vote against the govt. souly based on this decision next election. And that means for a CHRISTIAN FUNDAMENTALIST. /may god forgive me The rules of 4chan state that posting CP gets you perma banned.

You do realise that even 4chan doesn't allow CP on it's servers and it's actually ore of a runing joke than anything serious. (Posts containing CP are normally removed by admin) "Child porn is not “free speech.”" Truem but the filter doesn't only block CHild porn. It also blocks any porn with women with small breasts and any female ejaculation. And the idea of an unseeable blacklist with no way to remove sites that remove said content is terribly stupid, 4Chan is joking when they say that are there for the porn. It's a joke, but they are there for a relevant reason. @ Xenophobia

Senator Nick Xenophon endorsed these cyber terrorists when they were attacking the Church of Scientology. Two of them, Brian Mettenbrink and Dmitry Guzner have since been sentenced to a year in federal prison for exactly the same type of computer attack the group just launched against the Australian government. And its not just about "pornography" -- the Anonymous group's websites are full of ILLEGAL CHILD pornography. Yes, Senator Xenophon, it's all about freedom of speech. Tell that to the children exploited in these videos. Your support for this group is repulsive.

Seriously folks, prancing around the websites you're not going to be able to go to soon with your thumbs up your ass isn't going to solve anything. Get as many people as possible to just protest, forgetting about your jobs. Money is the only things politicians care about. A huge strike is definetly going to say more than, "Excuse me, can we please retain our rights, if it's alright with you?" Citizens need to protest like crazy.

I've got to admit, an anti censorship group is fighting censorship by taking down aph is actually kinda ironic.... I am against the censorship idea ever since it was announced that banned video game websites would be blocked. The fact that my already crappy net connection will slow down is not a point in the plan's favour either. I also find the entire concept of a blacklist that cannot be seen by the public as a very bad idea. Incidentally, the original Wikileaks blacklist didn't actually have 4Chan on it, what's the bet it will now?
