Goodbye, my dear fellow ZEROPumpkins. I will forever remember you.

An earlier version of the Government's top-secret list of banned sites was leaked on to the web in March, revealing the scope of the filtering could extend significantly beyond child porn.
About half of the sites on the list were not related to child porn and included a slew of online poker sites, YouTube links, regular gay and straight porn sites, Wikipedia entries, euthanasia sites, websites of fringe religions such as satanic sites, fetish sites, Christian sites, the website of a tour operator and even a Queensland dentist.

what the fuck is going on in australia??? damn.

Let's see... so far, on the internet, I've seen several men shoot themselves in the head, one man get his head cut off, and one kitten stomped to death by a Chinese woman in stilettos.

Despite this, I am still a mild-mannered member of society.

Australia is dumb.

So the psychopaths who get stiffies cyberbullying and illegal file sharers are causing a stink over it. Boo fucking hoo.

something tells me that kiddie porn will survive.

inb4 "noooooo ur blockin mah kiddie pron linx".

davenotdead · 12.15.2009, 05:46 PM

internet companies in australia were terrible enough when i was there. now its just kinda funny

terminal pharmacy · 12.15.2009, 06:07 PM

yeah we have some of the most expensive and slowest net in the world. however i could not give two shits if sites like /b/ and kiddie porn sites are censored really. if you are doing that sort of shit your life should be censored. these things are always coming up in the world i just dont give a shit cos i dont look at dodgy shithouse sites. although the gay porn thing is stupid cos gays like porn as much as heteros....

pbradley · 12.15.2009, 06:46 PM

We should censor principles. If you have principles, they should probably be censored anyway. Since I don't have principles, I don't care.

floatingslowly · 12.15.2009, 07:07 PM

I'm looking forward to the txt.filter and the creative forms of "cunt" that it will bring to my chat-windows.

I don't know about the rest of you, but I've never come across a child porn site in all my years using the internet/crusin' porn sites.

krastian · 12.15.2009, 09:41 PM

Yeah, the gay porn thing is ridiculous.....poor form.

verme (prevaricator) · 12.15.2009, 09:42 PM

gay porn and poker, eh?
someone got caught by the wife.

jon boy · 12.15.2009, 11:54 PM

so there will be a few less australians on the internet. i for one am rejoicing!

automatic bzooty · 12.16.2009, 12:06 AM

i was on a forum once where all the australians got pissed off about some minor rule and ganged up against the moderators and all left in solidarity toward their australianness.

"uhhh... cool story bro."

wth are you doing on syg

phoenix · 12.16.2009, 06:58 AM

this has been coming for more than a year. It concerns me more for the massive loss of speed than anything else. Every single independant expert gas said this is ridiculous and will not do what it is supposed to, only cause other problems. Pointless. I'm already paying through the nose for the internet though..
