Can I ask - didn't Australia had something like SOPA too?
I vaguely remember some list of banned Australian sites being leaked on Wikileaks, and some videos about abortion and really random sites being on that list. Do someone knows more?
- Natsu 15y agoThe situation in Australia is fairly complex, so rather than attempting to summarize I'll just point you here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_in_Australia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_in_Austral...

- Joakal 15y agoInternet censorship is now alive in Australia since June-ish 2011. Most of the biggest ISPs voluntarily adopted Interpol list. And made it mandatory for their customers (I left). Seems odd that they would risk being censorship companies, but there's government money involved to those that do filter Internet. Long-term, the subscriptions from mandatory censored Internet will be cheaper than Internet freedom subscriptions, so those Freedom ISPs will exit the market. My next prediction to the Internet censorship: To be eligible to resell NBN, the ISP must have appropriate criminal content filters in place. Making the Freedom ISPs languish behind in the one digit megabit era.
