I've seen the list of websites banned by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). I am not posting a link as I don't think posting a link to a list of child pornography websites is a great idea. However you smart cookies will know where to go to find this. While this all starts out with (from the names of the websites) what one would imagine to be child porn websites it rapidly goes through a period of farce which does not bode well for the future. Popular porn website X-Tube (basically YouTube for porn) has been banned as has the madcap antics of the Church of Euthanasia. The latter being extremely disturbing I agree, but there's a point at which people have to make decisions for themselves.
As I type this I've just received word that there is no true intention for any of this to actually happen. A close source in Canberra - what you think I'm actually going to reveal the poor guy's name?! - has indicated that this is just pandering to the various interest groups and will never actually go through. What's disturbing about this new information is the amount of time and money being spent on a series of smoke and mirrors. Sigh... got to love politics...
