Telstra’s Interpol filter goes live

[SGB]

Optus’ filter to go live later this month

And this is no surprise:

Optus’ filter can be defeated by ‘trivial’ DNS change

Am I the only one surprised 4chan wasn't blacklisted? XD

I don't know if it's related but bloody hell the Telstra connection was iffy at work today.

The problem I see there is "based on". Where's the accountability? We already know the federal govt has censored not just a single page of an anti-abortion site and the website of a former SA candidate campaigning on anti-abortion issues.

I'm not going to get into that debate either way here, but the fact is that if the govt has already censored that, then what's stopping them from censoring, say, opposition to the carbon tax?

So in addition to trying to control what we access via the internet, now they want to control how we use electricity

I can't wait till they start saying we've lived long enough and start mass euthanasia.
