well the Australian internet blacklist has been leaked, and I can't see it, because WikiLeaks must be being bombarded by hyperventilating Australian nerds.

An online poker site and apparently some youtube videos, and a Myspace profile are deemed too virulent for this country.

So will the bill get shot down or will I lose all faith in democracy?

    But about half of the sites on the list are not related to child porn and include a slew of online poker sites, YouTube links, regular gay and straight porn sites, Wikipedia entries, euthanasia sites, websites of fringe religions such as satanic sites, fetish sites, Christian sites, the website of a tour operator and even a Queensland dentist.

    I was pretty sure it had already been shot down, unofficially anyway, by pretty much every concerned party, including Opposition, ISPs, and anti-child-porn advocacy groups.

    Not currently.

    There have been plans put forward for ISP-level filtering.

    Several ISPs have opted to take part in the testing, just to prove exactly how bad of an idea this is, and the plan from the beginning has been fraught with many problems and delays, with good reason, because what this minister is trying to do is not really physically possible via the means he has set out. And everyone has tried to tell them this, but they are kinda slow to catch on.

    I mean it will stop children looking up this stuff.

    But really that leaves us two important questions.

    What the fuck is a kid doing looking of scatt porn and what the fuck is this kid's parents doing that stops them from looking up scatt porn.

    honestly this bill will have even less success than the whole "tiered internet" thing the US was contending with

    the key similarity is that both were pushed by people who have no fucking clue how the internet works

    hopefully this is very good news
    if the blacklist was just childporn it might get some support and even go through
    then when everything is in place they can fuck that dentists online appointment booking system right up
