In quick succession, there are 2 more news articles that further reduce my faith in *any* australian government.
This and this are what I am talking about.
Now, I’m NOT FUCKING SURE HOW HARD THIS IS TO UNDERSTAND CONROY. HOW IS THIS A SCARE CAMPAIGN?
The filter
- Has no judicial oversight or appeal
- The blacklist is maintained by an unaccountable government-controlled body?
- You cannot opt-out of this mandatory filter
THESE ARE FACTS! I DO NOT LIKE THESE FACTS. I AM NOT TRYING TO SCARE ANYBODY, JUST TELL THE TRUTH BEHIND YOUR AND CHAIRMAN RUDD’S LITTLE MORAL CRUSADE AGAINST THE INTERNET.
Sorry Conroy Conjob, I can’t have any faith in you filter while you continue to ignore these 3 very valid facts.
It doesn’t help that while you claim that the xFOADx’s anti-abortion page submission was not about political speech, you can’t argue that ACMA’s takedown request wasn’t. There is NO FUCKING REASON TO TAKE DOWN A LINK, BECAUSE IF YOUR FILTER WORKS, PEOPLE WON’T BE ABLE TO GET TO THE PAGE ANYWAY, RIGHT? OH, RIGHT… YOU KNOW THAT THE FILTER WON’T WORK…
