I'm not 100% sure on the new Australian laws concerning the internet,
but apparently ISPs have to block all sites that contain words that
are bad, even if they are contained in words that aren't. eg
Scunthorpe. There is a link from the Arachne home page (of all
places!) to a page which has a link to a list of banned words. [Even
"toys" appears to be banned. Thats great, stop children from
accessing sites that contain the word "toys"]
Also all Australian adult sites are to be censored, and this will
cause all such sites going overseas, effectively staying away from
government control.
I reckon they should make adults sign something and let them do
whatever they want, otherwise they'd be blocked liked children. I'm
18 BTW, so I'll be an adult. :)
