I was reading the St. Petersburg Times the other day and read a story on how the Australian government has proposed tighter restrictions on the internet. Wait, what? A democratic country is pushing one of the strictest Internet bans in all of the world? There is something about that that sounds so...wrong. What is with this censorship and does the government really think this bullshit is going to work?
This all started by a child advocacy group who wanted to eliminate the amount of child pornography on the internet and with this filter not only will it block child pornography but other information such as abortion and sex education, as well as slow browsing speeds by up to 86 percent. So for all the Aussies jacking it, expect a much slower climax or blue balls if you get frustrated. The country's largest internet provider, Telstra BigPong has declined the filter, but others have taken part and for the wrong reasons. Provider iiNet has signed on to prove the filter won't work and the Managing director Michael Malone said he would collect data to show the government "how stupid it is." This filter has spent 30.7 million of the taxpayers dollars.
Instead of installing this filter, why don't they use the money to attempt to stop child pornography from happening in the first place? I know it's a long shot but spending ridiculous amounts of money to "protect our children" blows my mind. Why is it every generation there is a group of crazy parents who believes that the world is coming to an end if their child says God in the State of Allegiance or if the Bratz dolls are wearing see through underwear? Don't buy it for your children. Quit making a fuss about things. I grew up all right and so did Monica. My mom didn't buy me CD's with parental advisory stickers on them but we still listened to Eminem behind their backs. I saw porn before I was 18...ok, way before I was 18 and it didn't make me any more fucked up than the next kid. Parents have to protect their child the best they can. Children will always be curious and go behind your back to try things out. Drugs, alcohol, sex? It's obtainable no matter what you do. So instead of ignoring your child by going to these meaningless meetings to try to bring the man down why don't you read your child a book? Or check their homework because they probably didn't do it. Unless you're in America and you're one of these right wing nuts who home schools their child to believe that global warming is a myth and that science is fake because in that case your child is fucked on account of you and that is a shame.
I give it 6 months before the Australian government realizes, "Oh shit, we're wasting a shit ton of money on something that is providing no results." Trust me, I've seen child porn (pictures) when i was 12 or 13 and it's sick and we don't want to see it so I doubt your child will want to see his or her classmate dressed like a airbrushed slut.
