My preferred source has survived the purge. For now...

That block on TPB just disappeared.


At this point, all BigTransformersTrev needs to win the next election is a policy to overturn this internet censorship.

See, that's why I've been so pissed off about it. People think "oh no, that will never happen" but it eventually will. The nutcases backing some of the politicians wanted abortion, euthanasia, and satanic websites all blocked too. One day it will likely happen. As you say, this is just the start

Will there also be a ban on Sun Tzu and Machiavelli websites?.....................Oh hang on, if that happened there would be an uproar from politicians as well as their corporate friends.

They'd only censor what they don't agree with

Wait, you have a blog?

This seems sort of relevant to the topic at hand: Data Retention Laws May Open Up Metadata Access To Civil Court Cases: Have Your Say.

Honestly that's another thing that should never have been implemented, sure it could catch some predators, but in majority of cases all that keeping someones browsing history does is invade their privacy and allow the government to sell info to big business, whether that be for marketing or to allow hollywood types to sue mum & dad thousands of dollars just cause they downloaded Cars one time for little Timmy.
The fact that the government is trying to change it so that the data can be used in civil matters further proves what I've said, there is no legitimate reason that this data should be used for anything else then severe criminal matters like pedophilia, human trafficking, or terrorism.
