Internet censorship, it's rife.

[Oldbloke]

Long story short it turns out the gov is blocking hundreds of www sites. I guess we knew all along but interesting to to see it in black and white.

Welcome to Australia's "new way of life"

The government is here to protect you, its for your own safety.

Lol. Did have a look. Yes, mostly inappropriate. I guess the question is, should the gov be doing this for our own good?

thats not realy correct when my grandson was 4 Just at school
I bought my Mum his great grandmother a computer she was just learning How to drive the thing he was saying to her type in this address www. ect his elder sister 5 nearly six is holding her hands in front of screen telling nan no dont go there . turned out to be a porns site he thought it was funny as .
turns out they were talking about it at school to the point that kids over 2 years knew the address by heart , so i installed a net nanny on the computer and showed my daughter how to install one as well, cured eh no chance went over to daughters place when he was nearly 6 his screen was on found out he was running a VPN on a virtual computer when i asked why he told me so I dont get hacked.
Computers do not worry kids they grew up with them its just what they do used to be wait till grand-kids come over to tune the VCR just look at baby's in prams playing on mobile phones

Amazing stuff OB. I have enough trouble turning my PC on and doing basic tasks.

I see 1 year olds cranking ipads in prams everywhere.

At the tender age of one, they're already hacking the main frame and creating a new secret society of extremely wealthy and powerful toddlers who will very soon take over the world...

True story, you heard it here first.

Australia is rapidly turning into East Germany. You can't listen or see this or that, can't discuss it, debate it, challenge it, etc. Show me your papers, where are you going, you can only go so far, if you do this or that you get fined and so on. You must submit to a medical procedure or it's a camp for you.

Australia is the prototype for the great reset world government.

[on_one_wheel]

It's all part of the "great reset"

Go ahead and google "you'll own nothing and you'll be happy" before that vanishes from the net.

The very tools developed and used to "fight" coronavirus will be used to "fight" climate change.

Lockdowns, mandates, restrictions on travel, needing a valid excuse to be more than 5km from your home ecc.

Correct. It is becoming a hell hole down here as for the most part Australians are politically inept and love a government handout. The more you rely on the government the more you will blindly follow them because you are now a dependent. The "she'll be right attitude" has turned into the most lockdown country in the world.

I really hope old mate Donald or Desantos wins in 2024 and gives political asylum to Australians that need refuge. The whole world is laughing how stupid we have become down here.

[bah!]

The article is from 2009.

I think it is hilarious some of you have your knickers in a knot over this. The article is from 2009 and it is merely a list of sites that are passed to people that can use for opt-in filtering FOR CHILDREN. Half of the conspiracies you're wivbbly-wobbling over probably didn't even f***ing exist back then.

Trump supporter, umm lol. Someone prove that communism is cancer isn't a parody troll account, I bet you can't.

I hadn't noticed TBH. Still just makes me wonder just how much is blocked. To me it's more curiosity rather than complaining about freedom sh1t.

Like lot of things, can be good, or if misused a bad thing.

[bah!]

if you read the article, nothing is blocked, it is just a list of sites for an opt-in filter.

Practice before comunist china takes over and it becomes the norm. Nothing new here
