I saw this on the BerryReview blog, and so was amazed with it, I just had to share it with you all! It is a case of Big Brother gone to the extreme!
The Aussie's need our help - they have 22 million citizens and their Government is about to introduce a new policy that will have major implications for all internet users.
The basic outline is the introduction of a ‘Clean Feed’ internet firewall for all Australian internet users. It will limit ALL of us Australians from being able to see only what the government wants them to see. The idea is to stop the flow of un-savory content to that element of the community that will find a way around it anyway.
This measure will slow internet speeds right down to crawling pace. Even worse, the blocked list will not be available to users so if the Australian government, in their wisdom, decides that a sites should not be viewed by Australian internet users the it’s goodbye to blogger access for many!!
Other countries such as Iran and China have there type of measures already in use.
You can check out all of the details of the proposal at http://nocleanfeed.com/action.html or go direct to the petition at Sign the petition here.
