Does anybody know if this is complete bull****?

nocleanfeed.com/

it basically talks about how internet in Aus. is going to be censored .. removing bits inappropriate for children


just a small quote from the site

The Federal Government is pushing forward with a plan to force ISPs to filter out all material "inappropriate" for children from Australian homes.

This plan will waste tens of millions of taxpayer dollars and slow down Internet access.

Yeah theres been talks on this for a while, I think there was still some opt out plan last time I was looking, but I mean anything that censors information before it gets to the receiver is bad in my opion

Not fake, theres genuine talk going on about it but as MrMorden said, it's not gonna happen. We'll all have RFID chips in the back of our skulls that explode if we try to remove them before they censor the net

seriously this surely must be illegal. We all have the right to look up anything we want so why should the majority of us be punished?

Instead of wasting millions of dollars why doesn't the government make programs available that block inappropriate websites like at schools, work etc. for people who want them?

This is just stupid.

You can still get a "clean feed".

Your internet provider has to give you the choice. It's not China. You will have to contact your ISP and request an unfiltered feed is all.

Watch out, if you question them they'll void your Medicare card and all your bank accounts will mysteriously vanish

That's exactly it, I mean their needs to be some kind independent group deciding the clean feed at least (there may already be one for this, someone feel free to fill me in)

Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to do it the other way around? Contact them if you want the filter?
