Australia's Censored URL List Remains Hidden

Posted by timothy on from the what-you-don't-know dept.

While it stands to reason that most of the sites would be child pornography, what is to stop someone slipping in any old url if no one can check the list?"

    ' Maybe it was marked troll because your statements were so incredibly stupid as a reply to the post you chose.

    Poster: It's impossible to tell if it's down or blocked.
    You: What sites are you saying are blocked, then, eh?

    You wonder about 'this place,' when you should wonder why your parents decided to have kids'

    I wonder about people who post as AC as well... The guy was commenting that certain sites didnt work - i was wondering what type of site - that's easy to say - as the 'blacklist' is no such thing and is voluntary i was intrigued.

    Im sorry - i thought that was blindingly obvious but maybe i didnt explain it too well.

    Oh and many thanks for the personal insult at the end - my daddy however didnt teach me to hide behind 'Anonymous Coward' status when i wanted to have a go at someone...

    " I think the question is how did he get +1 in the first place....."

    The old fashioned way - make an account and post intelligent comments and get modded for them....
