Tear down the great firewall

On February 19, 2010, in Digital Evangelist, by Mike@Eurisko

The Australian Federal Government is pushing forward with a plan to force Internet Service Providers [ISPs] to censor the Internet for all Australians. This plan will waste tens of millions of taxpayer dollars and will not make anyone safer.

Its interesting to see the types of Keywords and websites that the Great Firewall of China censor’s Online.  Information is Beautiful gives us an awesome idea of what China blocks and as you look through the visualized data its hard not to imagine that the filter that Senator Conroy proposes wouldn’t eventually block the same types of KW’s and websites.

If the thought of internet filtering gets your blood boiling then head on over to No Clean Feed and find out who you can contact and what you can do to help in the fight against blind government censorship.
