Internet censorship in Australia


Senator Stephen Conroy plans on censoring all internet in Australia, in the interests of child protection. Some points that were made after I recorded this video… Sen Conroy refers often to other countries that already have ISP censorship in place. Where the proposed Australian censorship differs is that no other countries have mandatory censorship, and the govt doesn’t control what is and isn’t censored. Links to interesting news stories… www.abc.net.au nocleanfeed.com en.wikipedia.org forums.whirlpool.net.au Link to Sen Conroy’s ‘contant me’ page… www.minister.dbcde.gov.au Contact information for Sen Conroy… Parliamentary office Suite MG70 Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 Tel: 02 6277 7480 Fax: 02 6273 4154 Ministerial office Level 4, 4 Treasury Place Melbourne Vic 3002 Tel: 03 9650 1188 Fax: 03 9650 3251 Electorate office Suite 1B 494 High St Epping Vic 3076 Tel: 03 9408 0190 Fax: 03 9408 0194 But most importantly, if you wish to have a say on this issue, email Sen Conroy via… minister@dbcde.gov.au Make sure you provide a return residential address to that email if you want to be taken seriously

Say no to internet censorship – Join the Fight


The Federal Government has said it will introduce a new law requiring Internet service providers to filter all Internet connections – including yours – early this year. The stated goal of the filter is to protect children, however the filter will only serve to give parents a false sense of security. It will not block the vast majority of sites unsuitable for children, nor mitigate the other, more serious risks facing children online such as cyber-bullying.The list of sites to be blocked will be secret, and not open to public review. It comes with no guarantees about how it might be expanded later by this or future… governments. Concerned? There’s still time to make your voice heard.

Catch the Criminals – Not the Innocent

One of the problems I have with all the monitoring, filtering and surveillance that goes on online it that it rarely works. For a start surveillance, 99.999% of the time all you are doing is monitoring the innocent. Anyone who has anything to hide can easily takes steps to bypass the monitoring. So in the end all the online big brother stuff does is invade our privacy – it rarely picks up anything from the guilty as they cover their tracks.

It’s the same with blocking and filtering access to sites that we decide are no appropriate. You may argue that it’s right to filter websites with dangerous and criminal content – I would argue back it’s also normally just a huge waste of time. Any site that contains for instance illegal pornography can be copied and rehosted on a thousand other sites with ease. They can be encrypted, sent on usb keys or DVDs or hosted on darknet sites. In effect it’s a great big fat waste of time, the URL filtering slows down our surfing and the only thing you achieve is this

A completely false feeling that you’ve dealt with the problem, when of course you haven’t.
You’ve Blocked access to websites to people who weren’t going to use them anyway
Driven the criminals responsible for this further underground.

Let’s get this straight blocking the website of a paedophile ring does little to help the victim, other than pretending they don’t exist. What we need to do is cooperate and catch the criminals involved.

This is a perfect example of what should be happening – http://www.cps.gov.uk/news/press_releases/140_10/
, a racist uploading videos onto Youtube, don’t put resources into monitoring access, or filtering the web site out. Simply catch the people responsible and bring them to justice.
