The Australian government has people up in arms over a proposed internet filter called the Great Aussie Firewall that promises to make Australia one of the strictest Internet regulators in the world. Australia? Really? I thought one of the things everyone loved about Australia is that everything is so laid back.
Consumers, civil-rights activists, engineers, Internet providers and politicians from opposition parties are among the critics of a mandatory Internet filter that would block at least 1,300 websites prohibited by the government mostly child pornography, excessive violence, instructions in crime or drug use and advocacy of terrorism.
