Pirate Party and Philip Nitschke teach seniors to hack filter
,----[ Quote ]
| Pro-euthanasia group Exit International is
| holding national hacking crash-courses in
| how to bypass the Federal Government's
| planned ISP-level Internet content filter
| with help from the Australian Pirate Party.
|
| The first of eight âHacking Masterclassesâ
| was held in Chatswood NSW on Thursday last
| week, and drew about 50 elderly people â
| some bearing laptops. Exit International
| director and controversial Australian
| physician, Philip Nitschke, created the
| class to help the elderly access
| euthanasia-assistance material online,
| following fears that the Internet filter
| will block access to the information.

NZ internet filter goes live - gov forgets to tell public
,----[ Quote ]
| Tech Liberty is also concerned by the
| expansion of government powers that
| thefilter represents. It entrenches the
| principle that the government can set up a
| new censorship scheme and block material
| with no reference to existing law. Worse,
| the filter list stays secret, in contrast to
| the censorship regime that operates in
| respect of other media, where the Chief
| Censor must publish decisions banning
| offensive material.
