Comments on: Australian Govt’s Plan to Censor the Internet is ‘Stricter than Iran’ http://www.zeropaid.com/news/9821/australian_govts_plan_to_censor_the_internet_is_stricter_than_iran/ Sun, 08 Nov 2009 19:05:53 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Trencher93 http://www.zeropaid.com/news/9821/australian_govts_plan_to_censor_the_internet_is_stricter_than_iran/#comment-178939 Trencher93 Wed, 31 Dec 1969 16:00:00 +0000 #comment-178939 Color me skeptical that this will last beyond the first central point of failure outage when big businesses lose big dollars as their Internet traffic is stalled. They'll demand this be shut down. Politicians listen to money.

Most awsome tech news story I heard from Australia in 2007. :D Anyway like the Digg comment suggests use TOR. I wonder how TOR will affect this filter. Something tells me that they'll either block every single proxy (which would be outragous) or simply leave it be and let the people who know computers to find these things. Either way it's a bit frightening - especially for Australian proxies reporters whistleblowers etc. I still fall back onto the ever famous case of how that kid a year ago cracked the Australian governments 84 million dollar porn filter in a half an hour of his free time.
