The end of free speech? Knowing the wickedness of the NWO, they will use this to stop communication of any, who post blogs for example, that oppose the coming one world government and one world SATANIC religion (which will tolerate anything but TRUE Christianity). The bible refers to a famine of the word of God in the last days. Today on the internet you can still find the real truth but more and more lies are popping up everywhere it is harder to find. The day will probably come when true Christianity will be "illegal" online and only a feel good "tolerable" brand of Christianity will be allowed.
From the page [emphasis mine]: "Australians may not be able to opt out of the government's Internet filtering initiative like they were originally led to believe. Details have begun to come out about Australia's Cyber-Safety Plan, which aims to block "illegal" content from being accessed within the country, as well as pornographic material inappropriate for children. Right now, the system is in the testing stages, but network engineers are now saying that there's no way to opt out entirely from content filtering....
Australia moved forward with its plans despite widespread public outcry and began testing the system in Tasmania in February of this year. At the time, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) said that the filters would be enabled by default and that consumers would have to request unfiltered connectivity if they wished to opt-out of the program. Well, it turns out now that those promises were only partially true. Internode network engineer Mark Newton told Computerworld that users are able to opt out of the "additional material" blacklist - which targets content inappropriate for children - but not the main blacklist that filters what the Australian government determines is illegal content...
A spokesperson for the Australian Communications Minister seemed to confirm this revelation by saying that the filters would be required for all Australian citizens.
Assuming this is in fact the way the scheme is implemented in practice, it raises plenty of troubling questions. "Illegal" is a broad definition, leaving users wondering exactly what kinds of content will end up falling prey to the government's apparently mandatory filtering restrictions."
