Aleatz Hates Censorship

I don't usually do this (and I doubt doing this will have much of an impact) but I felt inclined to post this:



What internet censorship will mean for Australians:
  • Slower internet speeds, even when the filler isn't used.
  • The blocking of R+ material, meaning movies, games, etc.
  • Control over what content is displayed.

I understand the government's aims, but the reality is that the internet is an entirely different beast to movies, television and all of that. Blocking 'inappropriate content' will be unbelievably impractical, and I think they just shouldn't bother. It'll just be another governmental cock-up. Plus, you know, I don't want them to decide what content I should to view. For all I know they could block one of my favourite anime shows and then I wouldn't be able to sleep at night. Yeah, just a tad dramatic there.

Oh, and I'm leaving for (the flooded) Tamworth on Saturday. Looking at rocks shall be fun! No net activity for a week. [insert smiles] Pull out your sniper, God, and aim for my shiny forehead.
