Censorship in Australia is getting out of hand.

And another way they're trying to push for internet censorship if the "filter" gets a big "nickoff" from the general public:
http://www.ozspeedtest.com/news/1536...net-ombudsman/ Using the basis that an inapropriate group was made on facebook, stating that we'll give Daniel Morkholm back once this page reaches 1mil hits. Facebook wouldent take it down dispite the mother's request. (Daniel was a boy that went missing @ a buss stop years back, they've used him as an example for child safety since)
Look at their arguments towards why they wont let us have R18+ gaming category & why they want the internet filter.
An internet filter wont help them. Taken from personal experience with a Peadofile...
Was working for Unisys, we looked after 16 or so contracts and we'd swap a few with a team in NZ during daytime hours, and look after them after hours.
I was looking for a flatmate, and someone from the NZ team on the Vodafone contract was looking to move to Australia. Work wise, realy professional, hard working, realy focused on his work. seemed like a great guy, also into WOW and online games, i was paying rent for a 2bdroom place myself so thought it would be great for him to move in.
Once he moved in tho, realised he was a total freakshow. Was running around in undies on his 1st day there, set up his pc so he'd use keyboard/mouse on the bed and screen was on bedside table. Stayed in his room all the time with door closed.
He got dodgey with money after about 2 weeks, i leant him some origoianly when he first moved in cuz i knew he moved from NZ and knew he'd be working in my building then, with my team, and eanring the same $$ so i thought for sure i'd get it back. Then he diddnt pay rent, and i heard from a workmate he was shouting them drinks after work after he told me something different.
When he first moved in, i gave him my old PC to use. he reformatted it, put windows on it, and games and MS Word etc. And i helped him do up a budget based on what i was getting paid (cuz he'd be getting paid the same) so he could work out what he was spending where.
The night he got dodgy with the rent i went looking on his PC for said excel sheet to get all my facts straight, so the second he walked through the door i would confront him, say look dude, you're earning this much, you're sending this much back to NZ for you're girlfriend, you still have this much here, unless you have a drug habbit or blew over 500 on drinks tonight you can bloodywell pay me rent.
Instead i found childporn.
He downloaded it through Limewire.
That's P2P software.
An internet filter wont do jack to stop peadofiles & child pornography, because it only censors websites.
I dont think those kind of people use the actual internet much for that kind of thing, id think they'd mostly get it thru filesharing because its "safer" for them to find because of all the offenders caught because their IP was logged downloading stuff from random webpage.
If they were to bring in an internet filter (which they still wont release details of what's actualy on the list to be banned)
And when the person who's in charge of, and leading the push for the filter, does stuff like this -

It makes me extreamly worried
I think Australia is going to be the Guiney Pig for internet censorship. Once it's in here the US can justify "well, it's in Australia, and *insert fake statistics here* its obviously working, we'll get it too"
bye bye freedom of speech & information?
And OP's video was "removed for terms of use violation"
which ive noticed with ALOT of video links from this site.
Someone watching us that's a bit triggerhappy with the remove content button lest people know the truth
