Most authoritarian countries are controlling the internet for the sole purpose of maintaining control. China, Iran, Vietnam: If they did not do it, they will lose control, and that is the real reason for internet censorship.

As for Australia, I am fully aware known about the current government's plan to shove the web filter system plan in parliament. The Australian populace does not want it, the opposition does not want it either.

Censorship is just plain bad, it's unconstitutional, too.

"Censorship exists due to the fact that our educational institutions don't educate and the Church is still around dragging its feet one thousand years behind the times. False morality is the disease of a people who are told what to think and how to act from an early beginning; few ever use their own thought processes to question what they are taught. Talk about the living dead, they crawl like flies upon this turd of an earth." - Bukowski
