Aussie net censorship turning Chinese
,----[ Quote ]
| Recent DDoS chaos on the Australian internet
| may have been great fun for all involved â
| but behind the good-humoured anarchy lies a
| growing concern that the government really
| does have a dark and Big Brotherly vision
| for the future of politics in the country.
|
| As reported in The Register this week,
| groups exasperated by government plans for a
| mandatory firewall that will censor far more
| than the child porn material claimed,
| finally resorted to long-promised direct
| action, with a short and successful DDoS
| attack on government sites and offices.
