AU – Internet censorship agenda slammed by tech giants: (Sydney Morning Herald)
Australia’s biggest technology companies, communications academics and many lobby groups have delivered a withering critique of the government’s plans to censor the internet. The government published most of the 174 submissions it received relating to improving the transparency and accountability measures of its internet filtering policy. Legislation to force ISPs to implement the policy is expected to be introduced within weeks. The filters will block a blacklist of ‘refused classification’ websites for all Australians on a mandatory basis.
