the problem is that the government can't respond to complaints made about websites created overseas. there is very little the government can actually do to regulate the internet.
i like what you're saying about becoming better at dealing with the internet, but i disagree on your view of censorship. porn or other material that is exploitative of both children and adults, or real-life violence like those cunts from werribee, should be censored. i think it is in the public interest to understand what it is out there, and how low people can go, but i also think that removing an avenue for showing this kind of material will aid in preventing further violence, abuse and exploitation.
since australia is struggling so hard with creating internet policy relevant to the rest of the world, it seems wholly unlikely that they would indulge in censorship of contentious political material, when it could be accessed easily elsewhere. the labor government don't have that much scope for what they can actually get away with censoring. if it turns out that an unreasonable and unfair approach is taken, i'll be 100% against this, but i can't see myself changing my support of the censorship of material that has actively harmed people in its creation.
