Censordyne -- For When The Net Is Too Free - Bob Schroeck - 07-16-2009
Australian board members certainly know about their government's recent push to put up filtering software that will apparently rival the Great Firewall of China for its draconian measures. The justification is, as always is the case these days for any restriction on civil liberties, the alleged protection of children. Well, the Australian government just took a big hit, when the two biggest children's charities in Australia have spoken out against it..
Even better is the on-target video the anticensorship group has come up with. They haven't even gotten it on TV yet and the Australian government is already rushing to do damage control.

any censorship done by non parental persons to non child persons is immoral, unethical, and foul.
