| censoring the internet in Chinaafter it

| applaud them for this brave corporate move.

| stop all this nonsense once and for all.
| Apple should go next. They should refuse to

Ignore Islam4UK, donât ban them
,----[ Quote ]
| In a democratic society, the decision to ban
| an organization when it is not directly
| responsible for violence is deeply
| controversial. Any such decision is surely
| not taken lightly. However, the Home Office
| proscription of the group Islam4UK announced
| today will only serve to undermine the
| governmentâs effort to prevent violent
| extremism.

Is it art or is it pr0n? Australia decides it's ALL filth
,----[ Quote ]
| Australian painters and photographers may

| South Wales looks set to remove the defence
| of "artistic merit" from the statute books.

Why Nominet disconnected 1,000 sites with no court oversight
,----[ Quote ]
| The body responsible for the .uk internet
| addresses disconnected over 1,200 websites
| without any oversight from a court. The
| much-publicised action last month was
| based only on police assertions about
| criminal activity on the sites.
|
| Two Nominet executives have told
| technology law podcast OUT-LAW Radio that
| it severed the connection between 1,219
| domain names and the sites that lay behind
| them without the kind of court order that
| web hosting companies would usually
| demand.
