Psychosis

I am completely and utterly opposed to the CleanFeed filter. By implementing this filter, Australia, a first-world country, will be violating the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 19; which states that “Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.” CleanFeed also violates the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act (Commonwealth) 1979; which says that the Government requires a warrant to intercept our telecommunications data. This CleanFeed filter will not even block a quarter of unwanted content. It will simply lull parents into a false sense of security, and encourage development of new circumvention and distribution methods. Mr Rudd, Mr Conroy, I dont know what the hell you two are thinking, but rewinding out internet by ten years is not the way to go. Listen to experts like Mart Newton, and stay off drugs.
