“Take your hands off our Internet or we will fire you”

More recently, the Australian government has put forward a new bill that will force all providers to block access to the “objectionable sites” on the blacklist, which in turn will be moderated by the government. The main, so to speak, "Evangelist" of this wonderful bill is the Minister of Communications Stephen Conroy (Stephen Conroy), who conceived everything himself and is promoting it triumphantly. For more PR, he touched Google’s policy on this issue, namely that his search results contain a lot of unacceptable information (pornography), from which it is necessary to fence children in the first place. And, they say, with the help of a new filter, we “fence” them.



March 31 ended a poll in Theage.com.au, which is popular for Australia’s online media, about whether you support this bill. The results were as follows: 45 154 people voted in total, of which 3% were for the Internet filter, 1% was undecided and 96% were clearly told.

Disregarding the overwhelming majority of votes (with 96 percent), Senaton Stephen Conroy insists on using the mandatory internet filter for all of Australia and beyond.

The public didn’t wait long for themselves and is now addressing the senator directly , “We don’t want your Internet Filter. Stop it or we will vote to get you fired. ”

They are going to do it with the help of the elections that will be held in Victoria in the near future.
