> Aussie government tries to block two sites, takes down 1,200

> Australia's government is under fire after it appears to have introduced web 
> censorship without warning and expanded already controversial powers to block 
> access to child pornography into a wider web filtering system.
> 
> The reluctance of the government to release information about who has 
> requested sites be blocked, and lists of those sites, has also alarmed many 
> Australians. Two convenors from Melbourne Free University (MFU), whose site 
> was blocked without warning or explanation on 4 April, have described it as a 
> "glimpse [of] the everyday reality of living under a totalitarian government."
