  The Federal Government is planning to force all "Australian servers to filter internet traffic and block any material the Government deems ‘inappropriate’. Under the plan, the Government can add any ‘unwanted’ site to a secret blacklist.

  Testing has already begun on systems that will slow our internet by up to 87%, make it more expensive, miss the vast majority of inappropriate content and accidentally block up to 1 in 12 legitimate sites."

  In a country that has ridiculously shitty internet services already - theres plenty of poor people outside the major cities still stuck on dial up - this is pretty unacceptable!

  Chances are QBN could get blocked for just for the animated gif thread and nsfw thread alone..

  • Just kidding. The censorship really sucks. It should be available, but optional.– ETM

  take a pay cut, buy a rain jacket and move to new zealand - where most things are shit, but we can register a domain name in 2 seconds (don't get me started om .com.au's) and our internet is as free as a flightless bird.
