Uproar in Australia Over Plan to Block Web Sites
Uproar in Australia Over Plan to Block Web Sites: “A proposed Internet filter dubbed the ‘Great Aussie Firewall’ is promising to make Australia one of the strictest Internet regulators among democratic countries. Consumers, civil-rights activists, engineers, Internet providers and politicians from opposition parties are among the critics of a mandatory Internet filter that would block at least 1,300 Web sites prohibited by the government — mostly child pornography, excessive violence, instructions in crime or drug use and advocacy of terrorism.
