Guest ShaQuaNew Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Some might not think of China being the trend setter when it comes to policing the internet, but when it comes to Australia, they would prefer to follow suit: Australia to implement mandatory internet censorship October 29, 2008 12:02pmAUSTRALIA will join China in implementing mandatory censoring of the internet under plans put forward by the Federal Government. The revelations emerge as US tech giants Google, Microsoft and Yahoo, and a coalition of human rights and other groups unveiled a code of conduct aimed at safeguarding online freedom of speech and privacy. The government has declared it will not let internet users opt out of the proposed national internet filter. http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,2...37-2862,00.html Link to comment
