Not Safe For Work!
More or less. I’m not sure that there’s any way for me to really justify what I have wrought here, except that like many other Australians I am appalled at the idea of a mandatory filtering of national internet access. This is the sort of measure we expect, and indeed see, from nations like Turkey and China. Both of these countries already have a filter on what internet sites their citizens can access, and neither country is viewed as more progessive, more free, or more intellectually capable because of it.
An internet filter is just naked censorship (pardon the pun), and, to quote the West Wing, censorship is like saying that I can’t have a steak for dinner because a two year old child isn’t capable of chewing it.
