Its Just My Opinion

Now it could be just me (I doubt it though) but this content filtering system sounds remarkably like systems used by oppressive regimes in China, North Korea and Cuba. Any content filtering system made available to Australians should be completely voluntary. If I want to read about euthanasia - or any other topic I should be able to freely access it without Government interference. People have suggested that this will be a way of ensuring Child pornography is not available on the web in Australia - while this is a noble intention it is a complete fallacy as the proposed filter won't do anything about peer to peer file sharing sites. It is my view that it is wrong to become Big Brother for the whole country in terms of web access to prevent a very small minority of sick individuals from accessing content. The solution I believe is to give the police more resources to investigate and prosecute these online predators. BlogNow
