[...] Australia destroys the Internet Like all efforts to censor the Internet, Australia’s scheme to put a firewall around the entire country’s web began with the claim that it’s needed to prevent sexual predators from getting at our children. Now, Australia’s secret list of banned sites has been leaked, and it includes “religious sites, various Wikipedia pages, euthanasia sites and a travel agent, a dentist’s website…” [...]

all the illegal sites must be stored on a server somewhere. Why don’t the cops just shut them down.

Australia is run by wankers who can’t keep their country of in control. They resort to secret blacklist of websites to show the world of their short willies.

Lots of schools would block this site to stop people spending time on torrentfreak when they should be working.

“but putting dentists and tuckshops onto the list seemed a little ludicrous and pointless even for a government hell bent on censorship”

Rather than blindly accepting Conroy’s comments (he’s a pollie FFS, of course he’s lying), why don’t you spend a few minutes checking for yourself? It would’ve been quicker for you to Google the facts than it was for you to write such claptrap.

The dentist’s site was hacked by Russian CP merchants, it was removed and he subsequently shifted his site to a more secure host.

Because he did not and could not know he was on the SECRET blacklist he had no way of having his site removed once it was OK. OK?

@ NubCakes

seems some users here can’t descriminate.

I believe the word you’re looking for is discriminate, smartass.

If or when you’re able to master basic English language, then maybe we’ll talk. Until then I’m not feeling too hopeful of learning much from you. :(
