Australian government struggles
May 27, 2009, 10:05 am (2 years ago)The Australian government is struggling to censor the Internet and the vast domestic and global protest it has produced. And its most recent hardship in an effort to persuade taxpayers that all is beyond board and fair is to propose that the foully imprecise and allegedly secret blacklist should be privately examined by a panel of distinguished Australians.
The purposes of the government turn out to be obvious last year when Wikileaks issued an assumed blacklist which the Australian Communications and Media Authority had informed ISPs to prohibit as part of an examination for the prohibiting of specific, government agency-selected sites. The list contained a lot of imprecision. The addition of legal and licensed sites including Betfair showed that government bureaucrats had not conducted their part thoroughly.
