CENSORSHIP in Australia (from an American perspective)

[Drive XR7]

An anonymous reader writes "The Australian Government's plan to Censor the Internet is producing problems for ISPs, with filters causing speeds to drop by up to 86% and falsely blocking 10% of safe sites. The Government Minister in charge of the censorship plan, Conservative Stephen Conroy, has been accused of bullying ISP employees critical of his plan: 'If people equate freedom of speech with watching child pornography, then the Rudd Labor Government is going to disagree.'"

I am unfamiliar with Aussie law... but the kind of censorship they have in Iran and other dictatorship countries is grounds for revolt.

I would love to hear from you guys on this.... and what you think about the American presidential election.
