Australia intends to introduce filters which will ban access to websites containing criminal content.

Holy moly,  dangerous indeed, sounds like book burning!!
Quote:- "Successful technology isn't necessarily successful policy," said Colin Jacobs, a spokesperson for Electronic Frontiers Australia, a non-profit organisation that campaigns for online freedom.
"We're yet to hear a sensible explanation of what this policy is for, who it will help, and why it is worth spending so much taxpayers' money on."

Are they trying to insulate themselves from the World at large????   Although they live on an island contintent,  it is doubtful they can be an island seperate from the World .

However,   I have an idea of what they want to keep restricted.   But will it work?
