Aussie Internet Censorship Minister Censors Self
An anonymous reader writes "Communications Minister Stephen Conroy, the minister attempting to ram the great firewall of Oz down everyone's throat, has been removing all traces of the unpopular legislation from his main website with a JavaScript filter. From the article: 'It was revealed today a script within the minister's homepage deliberately removes references to internet filtering from the list. In the function that creates the list, or "tag cloud," there is a condition that if the words "ISP filtering" appear they should be skipped and not displayed.' Bear in mind, this is the same minister that tried to get the ISP of tech forum Whirlpool to pull the site after users there posted a response email from the ACMA (Australian Communications and Media Authority)."
You appear not to have any UID. I guess that makes your 31 first posts even more impressive?
Try not to take me more seriously than I take myself.
We won't bite :P
No, but your snakes, crocodiles, jellyfish, insects, dingos, and politicians do. Don't get me wrong, Australia sounds like it is an amazing and fun place to visit. But don't be disingenuous, everything tries to kill you down there. =P
