I meant blocked in respect to Conroy's blacklist. Your ISP may be blocking other sites on behalf of other parties (or for their own reasons)...it would be most interesting to find out for who and why.
- nwh 13y agoThe blocked site was from government list, and applied to Optus, Telstra and Exetel (maybe more). There seems to be disinformation in the media about it; the ISPs claim that the government told them to block a particular site, and the government says they didn't. I'm inclined to believe the former. http://delimiter.com.au/2013/05/14/it-wasnt-us-ags-dept-denies-massive-filter-false-positive/ http://delimiter.com.au/2013/05/14/it-wasnt-us-ags-dept-deni...
- smegel 13y agoThis is all very recent...changes are apparently afoot. My guess Conroy is trying to have one last, desperate stab at trying to reign in the Internet before he gets tossed out in September (good luck with that). The guy seems to be unable to grok the concept of a free, open and wild space for the unrestricted exchange of information and ideas that exists outside the realm of government censorship and control.
