As Requested: Internet Filtering

As requested by one of my blog followers, the links to save the net in Australia. Also, is a brief rant I have done, for your reading.

Imagine this:
• The internet is 87% slower. Or worse that dial up.
• The internet is more expensive – meaning we won’t be able to download as much.
• Several of your heaving accessed websites are blocked.
• You won’t be able to get help with ‘trial programs’ or program issues from me anymore.


Let me ask you:
You are needing to make an emergency call. You have a phone in front of you. All you have to do is pick it up, and ring. But you can’t do that, because the number you need to dial is considered ‘unsafe’.

It’s ‘unsafe’ for the overprotective parents that don’t personally take responsible for their kids internet usage, and instead say we need a nationwide ban. We won’t be able to look up anything eventually. It’s starting with topics like anorexia, euthanasia and gambling. Well consider this:

Anorexia – For high school I had to study this as part of my biology class. How would I access this information if its blocked? How would your future med students learn about it, if the government is stopping them from accessing it? Throughout history we have seen the ban on certain knowledge, and it has resulted in death, pain, slavery and suffering. During an economic crisis, and global warming, do we really want another issue to deal with?

This is really happening; testing has already begun. The government is stealing our rights.

Even if you don’t care, please just add your name to the list. Do it for me, do it for your children, your friends and family. Because if you don’t even try, one day we are going to be living in a world where we cant even say hi and meet with our friends without being arrested.


Stop big brother in his tracks: Say no to internet filtering!

Our government should be doing all in its power to take Australia into the 21st century economy, and to protect our children. This proposed internet censorship does neither. Take action to save the net today.


PS - The proposed scheme will pass all internet traffic through a government filter - it's like asking Australia Post to filter every letter sent in Australia. If you don’t classify as a ‘safe’ house address, you won’t get it. So much for all your privacy either, they read it all! Click here to save the net.



This is one very big step to stopping our freedom of speech!

Even if you don’t care, please just add your name to the list. Do it for me, do it for your children, your friends and family. Because if you don’t even try, one day we are going to be living in a world where we cant even say hi and meet with our friends without being arrested.
