Internet Censorship in Australia

Due Credit: TechRepublic
The Australian Government is taking a strict stance on curbing inappropriate content on the web but there are several doubts on whether the move is going to serve its end purpose.

On one hand we have the real need to prevent kids from being exposed to lot of explicit content online. On the other hand we are also opposed to government curb on information flow. The real big question is whether it will set a precedent for more blocking.

What is your opinion on the emerging scenario?

I'm against censorship because we can't agree on what's acceptable. Humour and art may be seen as hated and pornography..

I'm with Cibby. Any kind of censorship gets into scary territory.

I have three kids - and yep, they use the Internet. I don't want them coming across age-inappropriate content, but respect others decisions to view it if they choose. I make sure my filter works... my kids aren't old enough to know how (or want to) get around it.

Where would the government censorship end? Google bowed to government censorship in China and edited it's search result accordingly in that country.

Big Brother is watching...?
