Australian Government To Mandate Internet Filters

ratzmilk writes "The Australian government is mandating the creation of 'clean' internet feeds. To be optionally made available to schools and homes that request it, the feed would offer built-in filters of 'pornography and inappropriate content'. Said Senator Controy: 'Labor makes no apologies to those that argue that any regulation of the internet is like going down the Chinese road ... If people equate freedom of speech with watching child pornography, then the Rudd-Labor Government is going to disagree.'"

    (the filterists) believe that pedophilia is contagious; if someone sees kiddie pron, they will become pedophiles

    It's the JEWS, stupid...
    Australia is one of the last bastions of WHITE people - and the JEWS can't allow even ONE country to remain all white - because the difference between it and all the ruined 'multicultural' white countries would be obvious, and every white person would want to move there.
    So the JEWS are once again destroying freedom of speech, and trying to control the internet, (just like they control our entire media), otherwise white people might start reading the truth about their Jewish 'masters'...

    They are, after all, 'God's chosen people' (according to them), and we are merely 'cattle' (goyim)...

    I'd mod you to hell if I hadn't already posted

    Bah, it's better to post a rebuttal to something you disagree with than it is to mod somebody down anyway. Modding down is a more pussified version of posting anonymously amyway :-p

    Those conservative Republicans always want to censor everything.

    I'm going to move to Australia, where there is a liberal government and freedom. That'll show them.

    Oh. Umm. [What do I say now?]
