Net censorship, again
I'm very encouraged by the reaction of the majority of the public to the flaws in the Australian government's Internet censorship plan, which has received widespread ridicule in the local and overseas press.

I enjoyed this cheap shot by the Associated Press, covering an interview with the Minister responsible, Stephen Conroy (full article):


"It is possible to support a blacklist and support free speech," Conroy said. He did not explain how.


If you're interested in following along, I recommend the (obviously biased) site somebodythinkofthechildren.com.

I missed the Q & A episode last night featuring the good minister, so have been trying to absorb it at work today. But I was somewhat tickled by the claims from other panelists that such all-encompassing talk of censorship from a Labor MP was mighty counter-intuitive.

Not to mention Conroy openly admitting that ACMA make mistakes adding sites to the list. Woah.
