Australian Anti-ISP Filtering Protesters to Rally Dec 13th

By soulxtc

Rallies scheduled to take place throughout the country to protest govt plan for mandatory Internet filtering of "offensive and illegal material"by ISPs. It all started as a voluntary effort to "protect children," but quickly spiraled into an all out attempt by the Australian govt to make it mandatory for ISPs to filter the Internet of all "inappropriate content" and "offensive and illegal material." It quickly deteriorated from an attempt to somehow safeguard children from things like child pornography to things like legal pornography and gambling and has made Australian citizens rightly upset. Protests have been organized by the Digital Liberty Coalition, and will be held throughout the country on December 13th. The list of locations includes: Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Hobart, and Perth.
