Questioning the Oz Net Censors



Hi all

A Wired story on the operation of the online legislation down under.

Cheers

Questioning the Oz Net Censors 
Australia's 16-month-old Internet censorship law, while less
intrusive than originally feared, is largely ineffective, a waste of
tax 
dollars and gives a false sense of security, critics say. 

"The law argues against Australian claims to being a technologically
savvy nation," said Peter Coroneos, executive director of 
the Australian Internet Industry Association.
