Mandatory Internet Censorship in Australia (1 Viewer)

[SnowFox]

i said that most of the general public agree and was shunted down and told i was lying.

that just proves how wrong some of you are who are so quick to oppose me, and rudd for that matter (not saying i dont oppose on this issue because i do to an extent)

The general public is ill-informed. 7PM project, he practically side stepped every question thrown at him, pretty sure CP was mentioned every time.

Internet censorship
Main article: Internet censorship in Australia
Conroy has faced severe criticism over his Internet censorship policies from various groups. While initially promoted as a way to block child pornography, the censorship policy has been extended to include a much broader range of material, including sites depicting drug use, crime, sex, cruelty, violence or "revolting and abhorrent phenomena" that "offend against the standards of morality".[7]
On 19 March 2009 it was reported that ACMA's blacklist of banned sites had been leaked online, and had been published[dead link] by Wikileaks. Conroy described the leak and publication of the blacklist as "grossly irresponsible" and that it undermined efforts to improve "cyber safety".[8]
Stephen Conroy had not faced an interview about the issue for at least six months,[9] before appearing on the ABC show 'Q&A' on March 26, 2009, and the SBS show 'Insight' on March 31, 2009, where he defended the policy in front of critics and supporters of the policy.
In June 2009 he was named "Internet villain of the year" at the 11th annual Internet industry awards in the UK, for "individuals or organisations that have upset the Internet industry and hampered its development - those whom the industry loves to hate."[10]
In December 2009 "Internet pranksters" registered the domain name stephenconroy.com.au[11] which was swiftly removed by auDA[12] raising concerns[13] about auDA's political neutrality and the further potential for suppression of political speech after the proposed mandatory Internet filter is legislated.

Oh hello, political censorship.

Personal life

Senator Conroy is a Catholic, and is said to be socially conservative. While he voted against the abortion drug RU486 in a conscience vote,[14] he has claimed not to have taken a conservative position on all issues:
"I think the point I made was that while I would prefer there to be a parliamentary framework for the RU486, I think it was, debate, if the actual issue was before Parliament I would probably vote for the distribution of the pill. People often say, oh no Steve's a conservative Catholic, but they won't ever find on my voting record something that backs that up. I voted against the Northern Territory's euthanasia legislation. I voted for some of the cloning debate. So I voted in, I like to consider the issues on their merits and I voted what some would characterise as conservatively and some would characterise as progressively on a number of issues."[15][16]
Conroy and his wife, Paula Benson, have a daughter born in November 2006 with the assistance of an egg donor and a surrogate mother, both friends of the Conroys. The procedures were performed in New South Wales instead of their home state Victoria, where altruistic surrogacy is banned.[14][17][18]
He was a national volleyball representative as a teenager and has been the President of Volleyball Victoria since 2004.[3][19]

Couldnt get anymore fail.

the general voting population supports it because they're ill-informed on internet issues. The internet population is not equal to voting population so it's not a surprise they don't see eye to eye. Just because the 'amjority' say something it doesn't mean it's ethically right, as the 'majority' support the filter, it doesn't make it any more logical or ethical.

who cares the internet is mostly garbage anyway

then why are you on here?

The exit is this way ----->

Says it all really.

"We must protect the fucking children from watching people fuck, but since im catholic, we'll just have to protect the rest of Australia from the same thing!"

"protecting the children from pornography, thats gotta win me some votes. Wait, what was the last bit?"

"Oh, nothing..."

This is why the filter started​

Does this mean my pornos are going to be blocked

Probably not, as the filter will be so ineffective. But you never know. It's probably going to do a lousy job of doing what it's supposed to do but excel in doing what it's not supposed to do.

Fail.

Watching Q&A last night (whoa...that's another story!) and what is coming up next week, two of the panelists are of interest:
Kaiser Kuo - Beijing-based columnist, who is pro the filter
Brett Solomon - Executive Director of Accessnow.org, who is obviously opposed to the filter.

This should be interesting.

Whats all the fuss about internet censorship? I don't see you guys demanding child porn in magazine form? What makes the internet different? This material should be banned regardless of the medium it's transmitted in.

Grow up, you kiddies need your online diet limited.

As you are ill-informed, you make completely pointless statements that don't prove anything. Yeah so what if he uses Wikipedia. In most cases it is reliable. Furthermore, even if Stephen Conroy, is not that bad a person, it doesn't remove from the fact that it's a crap policy.

How I am I a troll? Because I have a different opinion to yourself? Because I'm not a child porn apologist? Because I think the science has shown that we need to bring internet regulation in to line with other regulations?

I mean why are you getting to upset over this issue? Do you have something to hide? Are you one of the minority that enjoy looking at these vile sites?
