Censorware in Australia: It's not a Good Idea, It's the Law

"Censorship! Is THIS what we want? Censorware in Australia / Australia joins China in censoring the Internet"

It's 'protect the children' time in Australia. What the new government promised would be a voluntary "opt-in" censorware program is now mandatory. With an opt-out option, which is a nice nod to traditional freedoms.

And yes, I'm biased. I don't like someone else telling me what I can and cannot see. (See "Filtering, Censorship, and Dealing With It (September 14, 2007))
