Australian Government To Filter Internet
Filed Under News, World News
The Australian government is on a crusade to make the internet “safer” for children and families by blocking access to internet pornography, and shutting down terror sites. While the goal of “making the internet safer” always seems laudable, it never actually works, either by not filtering enough, or by filtering too much (eg, legitimate breast cancer information sites). What is most disturbing, about this, however, is not that the Aussie government will try to filter the internet, but
the level of involvement between the government and churches. Since there is no effective separation of church and state in Australia, this is no big surprise, but from the perspective of an American, still quite disturbing.
