censorship

So it would be great if we could get some more ad-like videos made that people could put on their blogs etc. highlighting the Government's proposal to put a mandatory filter across all Australian ISPs. I think there are a number of ways we can attack this issue, but we have to overcome people's perception that this is protecting their children. I wanted to get across that in fact what we are stunting innovation and education in Australia and turn the fact that this is "good for our kids" on its head (it's late cliches and badly formed sentences are allowed). Let me know what you think of this approach :-) Be nice, I know it's YouTube!

a good point has been made that this needs a new frame. using the word 'filter' or 'clean feed' implies the internet is 'dirty' and needs it. I like the phrase 'rabbit-proof firewall'.

Ye a good point, but in this context you are replacing the word "filth" with filter, so I think it works.

well Done Bronwen. Good to get to let people on the web know what is about to happen to our net.
