Australia Says No to Internet Censorship

Posted by timothy on from the war-of-attrition dept.

Brenton Fletcher writes "A nationwide protest rally against the internet censorship filter proposed by the Australian Labor Government was held today. Over 9,000 people were slated to attend. I was fortunate enough to go to the rally on the steps of Parliament House in Adelaide, South Australia. I heard speeches from the Digital Liberty Coalition, the Green Left Weekly, and other concerned members of the public." Reader mask.of.sanity adds a link to ComputerWorld's photo-heavy coverage of the gatherings.

    Jimbo Wales should be ashamed of himself

    He is a hippocrite when comes to censorship, if any one remembers last weeks wiki-censor.

    There are always censors, doing it in the name of their "god" or "for the children".
