Why are you here? You should be forming pitchfork brigades over this nonsense.

Exactly. Once this is in place, it'll be too easy to make different classes of information "illegal", and that'll be intentionally blocking...no telling what else would be accidentally blocked. Things that might be illegal in Australia might be depicted on YouTube...well, that would make it an illegal site. Time to block it! Seriously. How the hell did this even get passed the planning stages without a riot?

I can see why the political class would favor it. Control information and you control the people. Can't stop the signal, Mal.
