I am in no way saying i am interested in in/think it should be legal. Its just the point though - nothing should be cencored. As you said as soon as they start cencoring one thing... it wont stop. Enjoy the internet now because in 5 years we will be trying to find a way to torrent without the cencorship screen comming up. You see i think even child porn shouldn’t be censored.

Many of these sites are useful tools, not just ways to get around a censor. Also, once the censorship starts, there will be no way for the Australian people to know whether the sites deemed illegal are being blocked, or if any site that attacks or criticizes the ban is also block. Once they start to censor the internet, it will be very easy to claim a site that posts their blacklist was breaking a law and had to be block, when in reality, it was trying to inform Australian citizens of what they are not able to view.

There is no reason to filter the internet. It should be left to the rightful guardians or parents to mediate children’s usage of the internet. God are we going to head down China's path .This scheme will ultimately take away our rights for freedom of speech on the internet. Are they going to block content that is politically sensitive??? It seems Australia is left to swallow this crap about protecting children, while revoking our rights to freedom of speech. A bold unethical move by the ALP.
