Australian Government To Mandate Internet Filters 305
ratzmilk writes "The Australian government is mandating the creation of 'clean' internet feeds. To be optionally made available to schools and homes that request it, the feed would offer built-in filters of 'pornography and inappropriate content'. Said Senator Controy: 'Labor makes no apologies to those that argue that any regulation of the internet is like going down the Chinese road ... If people equate freedom of speech with watching child pornography, then the Rudd-Labor Government is going to disagree.'"

Certainly brings new meaning to the old "So where the bloody hell are you?" campaign.

All http requests, or just those of sites critical of the Australian government? And isn't that rather like institutional goatse-ing?
I knew the Aussies were broad-minded, but really, this new initiative might be going a little bit too far...
