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!
