Purple Monkey

I don't have kids and don't look at child porn. Believe me, I have not interest in children, except those I can give back after hours of running around the backyard and messing up their parents house. I like being treated as an adult, not a child. It appears that we are all going to be treated like children. Everyone is being punished for the crimes of a few. Punish the few, and leave the rest of us alone.

If this passes, it will be used for political means, if not by this Government, then by one in the future. All it will take is for a Government to call a terorist threat and then they can move in. Howard did that whenever he was in trouble. I think the Government should consider the far reaching consequences of this Censorwall.

And most importantly, please don't do it because I really like Rudd and would like him to stay. I think if he does things like this everything we have waited for will be put in jeopardy.

I really should talk about the question you asked. When I hear the "digital economy" I think that you are only interested in how money is made over the internet, and how you may benifit. I view the digital economy could apply to anything that uses digital technology. The scope is huge and will only get larger in the future. Unless you truely know the full ramifications of what you impose you could limit future growth in the digital economy.

I also do not feel as though the Government has been forthcoming about how the Censorwall will be used and the true limitations. This is a good issue to debate, though the same agruements get used and they never stand up because I fear polticians don't have a full understanding of the internet. Please don't become like China, I have lived there and the Internet is boring due to lack of content and the slow speeds.

But most of all, please don't do it. I really like Kev.
