most common thing to get people to give out their freedomes is to say "think of the children" if some site that has lets say ideas that are oposite to leaders of the country think. slowly they are gonna steal your freedomes with the words "think of the children" when they censor some porn site they say "who cares if its adults. its still dangeros to our children" or when they censor political sites bechsoe they are "far leftist sites that are dangerus to our children"
This guy doesn't know what he's even talking about... This WILL NOT help. This would be a port 80 and port 8080 block. MAYBE a port 88 block. This doesn't help with the p2p networks as other are saying, but a lot of this is also going on in email lists. Unless they are planning on blocking all major email sites and SMTP and EVERYTHING ELSE which could be used to transport media this won't do a thing but keep the good guys from watching a few videos on Youtube.
If this censorship crap goes through they will block hardcore porn and fetish sites as well as flash games. Why should it be in their power to stop people from looking at that? Hell, if your children are looking up stuff like that, ban them from the bloody computer! It is a personal responsability to take chare of children parents should know that. The Government is simply trying to inforce its over protective opinions on the Australian people. It is a form of dictatorship and should be stopped.
The problem is that all hardcore porn and fetish material are already effectively banned in most of Australia, they don't classify it under anything and put it under so called "refuse classification", it is stuff you are not supposed to have in Australia by law... so there have already being a form of dictatorship in Australia, it just haven't been enforced on the net!!! :(
And all those P2P traffics are leave intact, while the web, where the general public NOT the pedophiles uses, gets filtered and slow down... it is like banning knifes in all kitchens while allowing actual murderers to carry guns around...
P2P can and often is used for good its many Linux distros are sent out on it coz it saves a fuckload of bandwith dont hate the p2p just hate the pirates
Yeah, was thinking about moving to Australia, but there's absolutely no way I'd move to a country with such a retarded system in place. Anyone who has a rudimentry understanding of the internet knows this is a bad idea, unfortunately the people who make the laws obviously don't use the internet.
It is possible to get a machine in the US and just use that as your internet gateway in Australia... I have planned to do this with a few friends and if you like you can join us.
I have a few questions to ask. Has legislation already passed? If so does it give the federal gov't similar powers as seen under the US drug acts; moreover, can the Australian federal gov't restrict further content without passing more legislation?
How in the world do they plan on blocking child porn on P2P? Do they plan on blocking TCP streams with child porn-like file names in the GET title?
I have added a few links that has lots of speculation and information on this. Yes a lot of stuff are speculation because the damn government are trying to keep it as low profile as possible and calls people who are against it as being "speculative" at best, and "sick child porn bastards" at worst. Of course it is all speculative at this moment, they don't talk anything about it at all!!!
Anyway I'll make a video on this later to discuss what I have found.
child porn websites already get shutdown and/or blocked this is just a mask cause what the government really wants to block is: anything that exposes the government for the corrupt fucks they are, any sites that show how we are being ripped of with petrol prices , and to the asshole that says anyone who does not support the internet censorship supports child porn.... I would love for this guy to come to me house and say that to my face I'll fucking tear his head off.
The argument for keeping and against those who hack it is quite simple. Only criminals hack it, so why should we stop the firewall? And of course the argument against it will become, this law only prevents noncriminals from unfiltered internet! The child pornographers have all the child porn they want! Why keep it?
Of course it will not really be hacked. It will be circumvented. There are so many tools to get around such measures. As long as there is SSH there can be no internet filtering
, unless the whole world is involved (ie. UN resolution) or if SSH is banned and filtered too. This would cause the death of the internet so I doubt that.
Let us pretend the UN does pass a resolution. All internet is filtered, so how can child porn exist? Why of course it will be a sftp/ssh server published via mail or some other means to by the pornographers ring.
Exactly, any illegal stuff is just going to go further underground in the internet in encrypted form; thus, making it HARDER for such laws to be enforced.

Already happens, they also block mails with certain politically sensitive words.
There's no warning or notice, the mails just disappear without sending.
Lets get this Internet censorship out before it goes global.

I wonder what the other reasons why the Government wants to do this.
If they're keeping it a low profile, then it's obviously not just about the Child Pornography.
