Why is a free internet important? Australia has no free speech protections. Politicians can introduce laws regarding restricting any material. Minority, conservative, special-interest groups can influence the government to ban harmless fun. Our censorship board bans legitimate material to pacify these groups. Everyone just blindly follows. In my opinion this wastes time and money. This is my line in the sand.
We live under the illusion that governments can protect us from the evils of the world.
Paedophilia, extreme violence, lessons in self-harm and suicide, race hatred and terrorism. We have every right to expect governments to monitor hate and terror sites and arrest and prosecute those who aim to do harm to others.
