I've been hearing whispers about it for a while now.
Like the optimist I am, I think in the long run all the inconveniences will be worth it. I mean, its not like the majority of the Australian population frequent the legal sites that might also accidentally get blocked. And I say it must be almost impossible to provide the public with a list of sites that will be censored, give the everchanging nature of the internet.
My only concern with this thing is how far the censorship will go. Will sites like LJ be blocked as well because of all the adult content on here? As for freedom of information/speech, I'm of the opinion that one cannot have total and absolute freedom, especially if it conflicts with greater interest (ie the safety of children).
