This applies to Australian internet users:

We've joined the Great Australian Internet Blackout this Australia Day, because we believe in every Aussie's right to responsible freedom of speech.
The Rudd Government has said it will introduce a new law requiring Internet service providers to filter all Internet connections - including yours. -> GetUp! Campaign Actions

Well LOTR

It seems that my previous post about http://www.gnutellaforums.com/lounge...tml#post351168 is actually happening.

I hope you guys can put a stop to this nonsense or else you will end up with a "Chinese style" censorship system and this will signal that it's OK for other western governments to do the same thing.

Quote from the Getup! Action for Australia Campaign site:
'When the Federal Government made a 2007 election promise that would force internet providers to block access to websites which were 'Refused Classification', GetUp immediately began a grassroots movement against the threat to Australia's online freedom. We commissioned a petition that brought support from over 140,000 Australians; flooded Q and A with questions that challenged the legitimacy of Stephen Conroy's policy; and raised over $125,000 to put our Censordyne ad on the air. The Opposition and the Greens have both decided not to support the policy - meaning that the government is unable to pass the legislation. Special thanks to EFA for their partnership on this campaign.'
